Biology in living systems is not only scientifically exciting and complex - anyone who understands it can use it to control ecosystems and use artificial systems in a targeted manner. In order to feed the world in the future, we not only have to conserve the existing environment, but we can also use the knowledge to produce healthy food in an eco-friendly ecosystem in an environmentally friendly way. Here you will find the scientific basics and current ideas from modern bio-technology.
