Ciência é Tudo explains what biotechnology is and its usefulness in food production. From techniques that have been known to humanity for a long time, such as fermentation used in bread making, to biotechnology in the production of food consumed by astronauts on space missions. The application in the genetic improvement of species, which can develop more resistant plants without pesticides, in addition to biosafety and regulation of activities with transgenic foods, are topics of this program. We will also talk to the doctor in biochemistry Maria Sueli Felipe, former president and full member of the National Technical Commission on Biosafety (CTNBio), an institution linked to the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, responsible. The agency is responsible for advising the government on the national biosafety policy, which deals, for example, with genetically modified organisms.
