What are some benefits of biotechnology?
Biotechnology benefits consumers by reducing the delivery time of improved foods to the marketplace. What once took 10 to 15 years and trial and error can now be completed in months. Science has reduced years of crop field-testing and trait selection to months of laboratory testing and selection. Another consumer benefit: meat products are produced from healthier, better nourished animals. The use of biotechnology in animal nutrition is widespread and growing. Both conventional and biotechnology approaches have benefited livestock and poultry producers by making feed more nutritious, plentiful and affordable. The end result is a wholesome, abundant and affordable product that meets the demands of growing population.
