The Many Uses Of Biotechnologies

By Kathleen Morris


Biotechnology is any technology that is based on biology. This encompasses a huge number of things that are used in most people's day-to-day lives. By harnessing both the cellular and the biomolecular processes of living creatures, biotechnologies have many ways of improving people's lives as well as improving the condition of and lowering human impact on the planet.

Harnessing the power of biology is nothing new, although some of the more recent and sophisticated advancements may be the first ones that come to mind. Many people don't realize that certain practices that make use of biological processes have actually been around for thousands of years. Both bread and cheese use biological processes, as well as the preservation of dairy products.

There are many products and technologies in the fields of science and medicine that could not exist were it not for biotechnology. One of the big ways that this has helped medicine is by making diseases easier to treat. Other ways that this has helped the world is by creating ways for needy people to get enough food, reducing mankind's overall carbon footprint, and making factories more efficient.

Doctors are now able to provide to their patients a vast new array of options and products when it comes to treating certain diseases and health conditions, and this is with the help of biotechnology. This can be anything from easing the discomforts of certain treatments, or even providing cures for ones that previously had no treatment at all. This field of science will be very important when it comes to combating future diseases.

The profession of farming has changed a lot due to this type of technology, and both farmers and consumers everywhere are reaping the benefits. Because of these new innovations, crops can be grown that are more nutritional, and that are resistant to bugs and pests that can destroy crops. All of this comes with lowering the environmental impact of agriculture.

One of the big ways that mankind is adversely impacting the environment is by burning fossil fuels, and a large percentage of that comes from cars. An alternative fuel source could be biomass, and that is what is being studied at biorefineries across the world. Not only would this fuel be less expensive and more available due to its renewable nature, it would lower greenhouse gas emissions.

There are always going to be countless diseases out in the world that threaten people everywhere. Because these diseases are changing and growing stronger to resist our vaccines, biotechnology is very important. This technology is being studied and developed to lower the number of infectious diseases out there that take the lives of many children.

Industries can help lower their environmental impact by harnessing biotechnology to increase their efficiency. On a more individual level, this technology also enables the washing of clothes at a lower temperature. It can also lower overall water usage, which lowers waste levels.
