Abstract
The USDA summarises (see https://www.usda.gov/topics/biotechnology/biotechnology-frequently-asked-questions) Agricultural biotechnology is a range of tools, including traditional breeding techniques, that alter living organisms, or parts of organisms, to make or modify products; improve
plants or animals; or develop microorganisms for specific agricultural uses. Modern biotechnology today includes the tools of genetic engineering.
