One objective of this resource was to familiarize readers with the broad scope of modern biotechnology. Understanding the science of modern biotechnology and the safety assessment of its products is important, but understanding modern biotechnology;s role in food systems is equally important. To accomplish this, modern biotechnology has been placed in the context of farming today, and current issues and perspectives have been linked to food security. However, drawing conclusions about the role of modern biotechnology is not purpose of this resource.
