description Modern biotechnology offers promising advances in many fields. Its proponents point to biotechnology's potential to enhance food security, by enhancing both the productivity and quality of food crops, and to mitigate the environmental impacts of agricultural production by, for instance, reducing the use of pesticides. Medical biotechnology has also made important strides, offering new tools for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Industrial biotechnology, while still in its early stages, is promising to provide new industrial applications that use fewer resources and generate less waste.
