Biotechnology involves the use
of living organisms and bio-processes in engineering, technology, medicine, etc. It also covers
genetic engineering, cell and tissue, culture technologies, manufacture of drugs, environmental
management, etc. In this, the higher yield is produced by introducing foreign genes from different
species. It has more nutritional value, better flavour and colour in the food. The use of genetically
modified crops is still limited. Scientists believe that genetically modified crops can help the
environment by reducing the problem of pesticides. Critics of biotechnology are worried about
the adverse effects of genetically modified crops on the environment.
In developing countries, manual labour is used for most of the agricultural activities, whereas
in developed countries, agriculture is highly mechanised. Most of the population of the developing
countries is engaged in agriculture and its allied activities. However, the ratio of population in
agriculture is minimum in developed countries like Canada and USA.
