TD 04 Life sciences and socio-economic impact
One hope is that green biotechnology might produce more environmentally friendly solutions 
than traditional industrial agriculture, although this is still a topic of considerable debate.Bioinformatics plays a 
key role in various areas, such as functional genomics, structural genomics, and proteomics, and 
forms a key component in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical sector.In conclusion 
biotechnology can berefered to any technological application that uses biological systems, living 
organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.Some examples are the designing of organisms to 
produce antibiotics, and the engineering of genetic cures through genetic manipulation.
