Preferred term

Definition

  • Agricultural biotechnology has been a topic of considerable social and environmental controversy since it was first pursued by researchers and later adopted by industrial agriculture. The term usually refers to living agricultural inputs, such as seeds that use genetic engineering, though some institutions define it much more broadly.
