Biotechnology and Our Future.

Studies showed that the world population in 2050 probably will be about 9,6 billion of people by report of United Nations, some experts starts to discuss if the world will be able to support so many people. For some experts the answers for this important question fortunately is yes.

But, how is this possible ? By the view of some experts the unique way to solve this problem is working with biotechnology, especially with genetic recombination ( The biotechnological technique to change the ADN of some plants, animals, and bacterias ). That way provides an opportunity to create new genetics varieties, when we do that we can create species that would be able to produce more or be able to defend off diseases and pests.

This is also so important for the environment, because when we use new genetics varieties of some species we do not need more use pesticides in order to kill pests ( This kind of substances is very dangerous for the environment, because pollute water and can causes cancer in human ).

 But the most important point that biotechnology will solved is about the question that envolved this point: How many hectare will be necessary to provide food for 9,6 billion of people ? For some experts, without biotechnology techniques will be impossible to provide food in this situation, because with biotechnology we can produce more in the same area.

As we can see maybe biotechnology  will be one of the ways to provide food for our world with 9,6 billion of people,
