About this video

Biotechnology can be used to promote sustainable and profitable farming for developing countries. Many activists attack biotechnology to prevent the reduction of biodiversity, pollution, medical hazards, and benefits only corporations.  It has been demonstrated that biotechnology can protect forest areas and increase the wealth of poor farmers in developing countries. Another topic that is closely related with Biotechnology is Global Warming. Both problems can be solved more efficiently by market solutions rather than government regulation.
