Description
Sustainability has become more than a buzz word — it is increasingly the benchmark by which consumers, investors, and governments evaluate products and technologies. The twin challenges of population growth and global climate change require truly sustainable solutions to increasing demands for food and fuel. This summit considers the unique challenges of sustainability in the 21st century and the tools and solutions that modern biotechnology has to offer.
