Biotechnology is the use of living organisms, or parts of them, to develop products and technologies that can solve problems or make useful materials. In the context of GCSE Geography, biotechnology is often discussed in relation to agriculture and sustainable development. It involves techniques such as genetic modification to improve crop yields, developing pest-resistant varieties, or producing biofuels from plants. Understanding biotechnology helps students explore how human activities can interact with natural systems to address issues like food security and environmental conservation.
