The practice of biotechnology, though different in style, scale and
substance in globalizing science for development involves all
countries. Investment in biotechnology in the industrialised, the
developing, and the least developed countries, is now amongst the
widely accepted avenues being used for economie development. The
simple utilization of kefir technology, the detoxification of
injurious chemical pesticides e.g. parathion, the genetic tailoring
of new crops, and the production of a first of a kind of
biopharmaceuticals illustrate the global scope and content of
biotechnology research endeavour and effort. In the developing and
least developed nations, and in which the 9 most populous
countries. are encountered, problems concerning management of the
environment, food security, conservation of human health resources
and capacity building are important factors that influence the path
to sustainable development. Long-term use of biotechnology in the
agricultural, food, energy and health sectors is expected to yield
a windfall of economic, environmental and social benefits. Already
the prototypes of new medicines and of prescription fruit vaccines
are available. Gene based agriculture and medieine is increasingly
being adopted and accepted. Emerging trends and practices are
reflected in the designing of more efficient bioprocesses, and in
new research in enzyme and fermentation technology, in the
bioconversion of agro industrial residues into bio-utility
products, in animal healthcare, and in the bioremediation and
medical biotechnologies. Indeed, with each new day, new horizons in
biotechnology beckon."
