Presented at the International Review Conference on Biotechnology, Vienna, Austria, November 2004 Legal and social aspects of biotechnology in Poland are of key interest for all of us but they are largely underestimated. Biotechnology is a very broad notion and may be discussed in at least four different fields, quite o�en labelled by colours: Green: this is agriculture and food industry; the ...

The purpose of this paper is to determine what factor affect trust in scientists and food manufacturers, and to examine how trust in these institutions affects public support for biotechnology. Data from the U.S. Biotechnology Study reveal that benefits from biotechnology and expectations of trustworthiness are correlated with trust in scientists, but benefits and costs of biotechnology, and ex...

Biotechnology can be broadly defined as "using organisms or their products for commercial purposes." As such, (traditional) biotechnology has been practices since he beginning of records history. (It has been used to:) bake bread, brew alcoholic beverages, and breed food crops or domestic animals (2). But recent developments in molecular biology have given biotechnology new meaning, new promine...

In pursuing the dynamics of the marketplace of biotechnology in animal health and the impact that regulatory issues might have today, I would like to tell you how the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is responding to some of the regulatory challenges that the "new biotechnology" has posed. I will briefly review our policy on and authority for regulating veterinary biological produ...

Modern marine biotechnology has been developing rapidly since the 1980s. There are promising and exciting achievements in biochemistry, genetics, genomics, aquaculture, bioenergy, and other related fields, beginning with genetic recombinant technology as applied to marine algae. Marine biotechnology clearly incorporates enormous social and economic benefits, thus providing a foundation for prob...
