Abstract
Fundamental discoveries in molecular biology in the past two decades initiated a scientific revolution which will have a profound impact on food and agriculture systems in the next decade. The tools of biotechnology, including genetic engineering, DNA probe and monoclonal antibody technology, fermentation and bioprocessing, and plant and mammalian cell tissue culture, will have numerous applications throughout the food chain — from the planted seed, to the food processing plant, and all the way to the consumer's stomach. Examples of how each of these technologies can be used to ensure abundance, variety, utilization, and nutritional quality of the world's food supply will be provided. Specific techologies related to ensuring the safety of the food supply, and the challenges which must be addressed in order for biotechnology to be effectively and efficiently used in agriculture and food processing systems, will also be discussed.
