In recent years there has been growing interest in applying biotechnology to create effective safeguards for humans and the environment as they relate to modern agriculture food production and sustainable ecosystem management. The initial successes in biotechnology marked a significant turning point in food agriculture and environmental research. It's impact on food security agricultural productivity and environmental management have led to organisms that improve food quality clean up oil spills and heavy metals in fragile ecosystems tissue culture plants that are increasing crop yields development of improved genotypes for all living species through marker assisted selection and DNA fingerprinting and approaches for the conservation and characterization of biodiversity. However it is crucial to harness the benefits of these modern technologies in sustainable manner for the well being of today's hungry people and future generations. Biotechnology for Food Agriculture and Environment is a collection of critical reviews and discusses the application of biotechnology to increase agricultural productivity and improve the livelihoods of millions of poor people through sustainable and eco friendly approaches. Written by leading research workers from Australia China Egypt Portugal Spain South Africa USA as well as India it will be of great interest for researchers advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in biotechnology agriculture.
