Biotechnology has been hailed as one of the fastest growing fields of science. In the last century, notable advancements such as DNA discovery, ability to recover and sequence (read) the DNA, recombination (gene transfer) and genome editing have are now applied in life sciences. These have enabled crop production with less resources- less pesticide use, less labour, less rainfall, enabling sustainable food/feed and nutritional security in light increasing climate change related challenges.
