GM Crops & Food: Biotechnology in Agriculture and the Food Chain is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal covering agricultural and food biotechnology.It was established in 2010 as GM Crops, obtaining its current name in 2012.
Food technology is a branch of food science that addresses the production, preservation, quality control and research and development of food products. It may also be understood as the science of ensuring that a society is food secure and has access to safe food that meets quality standards.
The genetic makeup of a soybean gives it a wide variety of uses, thus keeping it in high demand. First, manufacturers only wanted to use transgenics to be able to grow more soybeans at a minimal cost to meet this demand, and to fix any problems in the growing process, but they eventually found they could modify the soybean to contain healthier components, or even focus on one aspect of the ...
Agricultural biotechnology regulation in the US falls under three main government agencies: The Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

[62] A review article about European consumer polls as of 2009 concluded that opposition to GMOs in ...
Biotechnology is a technology based on biology, especially when used in agriculture, food science, and medicine.. Of the many different definitions available, the one formulated by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the broadest:
White biotechnology tends to consume less in resources than traditional processes used to produce industrial goods. [38] [39] "Yellow biotechnology" refers to the use of biotechnology in food production (food industry), for example in making wine , cheese (cheesemaking), and beer by fermentation. [35]
