0.8. Write a precis of about one third of the passage given below
(20)
(in 200 words). Also provide a suitable title to the same.
Continuing through the twenty-first century, technology is
expanding and to all aspects of life for the purpose of fixing
worldwide problems to making our life's much easier. In the
past few years, a new branch of technology has opened up,
called Biotechnology. Biotechnc logy combines agriculture and
science to improve crops. Methods such as Genetics are used
to modify crops and animals. Those in the Biotechnology work
field say that this new devolvement in science may in the future
change agriculture.
So that is the purpose of Biotechnology? It's to solve nationwide
as well as worldwide agriculture problems to make farming
more efficient and profitable. Farmers each year lose millions
to crop damage from droughts, pest, and poor soil conditions.
Biotechnology is not just to make farmers money, but to also
put an end to hunger and slow down the growth of disease
spread through affected crops. Agriculture plays a major role
in our lifestyle. It is the key for our survival. Without food, we
simply can not live.
Today crops have been successfully genetically engineered
and grown today. Crops such as corn are now grown to be
immune to deaseses. The bacteria that once could destroy an
entire field of corn, does absolutely nothing to the new crops.
With the use of this new technology, pesticides are no longer
needed. For instance, soybeans can be genetically altered to
grow containing its own pesticide. Also the threat of pesticides
entering drinking water is reduced, as the need of the chemicals
are no longer needed.
Areas with harsh soil conditions that couldn't support the growth
of crops are now able to grow crops. A crop can be changed to
live with less water, and survive in warmer temperatures.
Countries such as India, where a major medical condition such
as blindness is fixed, by chan g ing the genes of rice crops so
that it can prevent blindness. Although I did not mention all the

benefits of biotechnology, more and more are developed as

the years go on. Not only is this associated with crops, but with
livestock as well. Livestock can be engineered sot that good
grade A meat is available. Deformities can also be prevented.
Cloning will soon be used as a way of reproducing top quality
livestock. As with crops, these engineered animals will be
immune to just about every disease. Populations of these
animals can be better controlled.
Along with other major developments in science, there is much
controversy that follows biotechnology. Biotechnology is
completely safe. Before a product can be put on the store shelf,
it first must past extensive test by the Food and Drug
Administration. The FDA will then allow these products to be
sold and used. Although this process can take up to two to five
years. Others say that it shouldn't be allowed, as it is playing
the role of God. Those same people are also strongly against
cloning which is also referred to Biotechnology. But for the most
part, people are accepting the new technology.
In my opinion, Biotechnology will be very useful in the future.
Already, previous problems that have encountered with
agriculture have dramatically dropped and will continue to do
so as more and more developments are created. Hunger is
now on the decline as crops are grown almost anywhere. Profit
loss for farmers is also declining as well. So in conclusion,
Biotechnology can and will change the farming industry. Our
planet is becoming more and more populated everyday. It's
up to those work in the Biotechnology field to ensure that there
will be enough food to go around and that no one will ever
starve of hunger.
