    Extractions: Global demand for transgenic (i.e., genetically modified) seeds will advance 12 percent per annum to US$3.8 billion in 2006. Arable land devoted to transgenic crops is expected to increase 7.2 percent per year to 184 million acres over the same period. The world transgenic seed and crop industry has become increasingly consolidated. Major competitors Aventis CropScience (being sold to Bayer - Germany), Delta and Pine Land, DuPont, Monsanto and Syngenta have all been actively engaged in merger, acquisition and/or spinoff activities in 1998-2001. During this period, consolidation has evolved from a competitive strategy aimed at securing market share to a means of appeasing shareholders in response to an uncertain global marketplace. These and other key findings are detailed in World Agricultural Biotechnology. Historical data plus forecasts to 2006 and 2011 are given for transgenic seed sales by crop and country, as well as analysis for transgenic seeds' growth prospects by function. The structure of the gloobal agricultural biotechnology industry is examined in detail, and major players competing in the industry are profiled.

    Extractions: University of Kentucky Undergraduate Bulletin Visit the Agricultural Biotechnology Web site. Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Biotechnology Agricultural biotechnology encompasses cellular and molecular approaches to the manipulation and improvement of agricultural plants, animals and microorganisms, and the control of agricultural pests and diseases. The primary purpose of the baccalaureate degree program in Agricultural Biotechnology is to train students in modern cellular and molecular biology and genetic engineering. Students will be provided with a firm foundation in the principles of genetics and molecular biology of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Each student will then specialize in an area appropriate to his or her interest and career objectives, including: microbial, fungal, plant, insect and mammalian biotechnology. Graduates will be prepared to assume government, university, and industry positions with research and technology applications to agriculture and food production. Employment opportunities include research scientists, laboratory technicians or managers in university, government, industrial, or clinical laboratories using biotechnological tools for research and production. Examples of research areas include: gene cloning, construction of novel pest and disease resistance genes, development of new immunological and nucleic acid types of diagnostic probes for plant and animal disease, genetic engineering of microorganisms for the production of important pharmaceutical agents, and development of new bioengineered strains of microorganisms for fermentation and food production services. Students will also be prepared to enter graduate programs in agriculture, molecular biology, and the biological sciences.

    Extractions: For years academicians have assumed that agriculture poses no special problem for environmental ethics, despite the fact that human life and human civilization depend on the intentional artificialization of nature to carry out agricultural production. Even critics of the environmental impacts of pesticides and of the social implications of agricultural technology have failed to conceptualize a coherent environmental ethics applicable to agricultural problems (Thompson 1995). In general, most proponents of sustainable agriculture, driven by a technological determinism lack on understanding of the structural roots of the environmental degradation linked to capitalist agriculture. Therefore, by accepting the present socioeconomic and political structure of agriculture as a given, they became constrained from implementing an alternative agriculture that challenges such structure (Levins and Lewontin 1985). This is worrisome, especially today, as profit motivations rather than environmental concerns shape the type of research and modes of agricultural production prevalent throughout the world (Busch et al. 1990). Herein we contend that the key problem facing agroecologists is that modern industrial agriculture, today epitomized by biotechnology, is founded on philosophical premises that are fundamentally flawed, and that precisely those premises are the ones that need to be exposed and criticized in order to advance towards a truly sustainable agriculture.

Agriculture is also known as farming Agriculture includes both subsistence agriculture, which is producing enough food to meet the needs of the farmer and family (but no more), and also (almost universally in the "developed" nations and increasingly so in other areas) the production of financial income from cultivation of the land or commercial raising of animals (animal husbandry). Agriculture is the practice the study of these disciplines is called agricultural science.

When the Information Age exploded in the 1970s, the rush to own a personal computer was on. Now we’re in a new age, the era of biotechnology, but so far the public hasn’t caught on with the same fervor. Albert Kausch, University of Rhode Island (URI) molecular biology visiting professor and vice president and director of research at HybriGene, Inc., an agricultural biotechnology firm in West Kingston, R.I., is out to change that. "The technologies that developed in the Space and Information ages brought us new tools and products that have forever altered the way we live," says Kausch. "But the ramifications of biotechnology will go much deeper. Once people understand biotechnology, it will fundamentally change the way we view ourselves as human beings and the way we think about life on Earth." The most basic course, titled "Issues in Biotechnology," is offered as a URI undergraduate course with no prerequisites. Kausch developed the course with sponsorship from Pfizer and team-teaches it with Marta Gómez-Chiarri, URI fisheries, animal and veterinary science assistant professor. It seeks to answer the elementary questions that come to mind every time a news event like Dolly, the cloned sheep, or recent claims of human cloning grab the headlines. Exactly how does DNA work? What is a genome? How are genes cloned? The course also debates ethical issues. Should the federal government support stem cell research? What are the dangers of biotechnology to the environment? Educational materials are also available to middle schools, high schools, and the general public through a nonprofit organization called Lifeedu (pronounced

    Extractions: ON AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY The United Soybean Board recognizes that the future of agricultural biotechnology depends upon the understanding and acceptance of consumers. As such, we advocate the responsible development of plant biotechnology in a way that provides long- term benefits to consumers, producers, and the environment. Regulatory agencies, including the FDA, EPA and USDA, have declared that approved crop varieties derived from biotechnology are safe, after completing rigorous reviews of scientific testing. The most common varieties of biotech soybeans, for example, have undergone more extensive safety and compositional testing than any crop in history. More than 1,800 scientific evaluations in the United States-including tests for allergenicity and environmental safety-have come to the same conclusion: commercially available soybeans produced through agricultural biotechnology are safe for consumers and for the environment. They are just as nutritious and safe as any other commercially available variety.
