ENV 360 - Biotech Plants and Animals: Frankenfood or Important Innovations?

Institution:

Princeton University

Subject:

Description:

Biotechnology has given us the tools to manipulate both domestic plants and animals. Biotechnology may provide the means to allow crops to more rapidly adapt to changing health and environmental circumstances--including changes due to climate change--and to allow livestock to reduce their environmental impact. Case studies, and discussions with experts, will be used to evaluate these plants and animals created using biotechnology and advanced plant breeding techniques. We will also discuss the case against bioengineered foods and explore concerns over ethics, and adequate testing for their impact on human health and on the environment.
