Food Biotechnology

Get the latest Food Biotechnology news, research and developments covering the use of biological science and biotechnology across food production, crop improvement, nutrition, processing and emerging food systems. This tag brings together developments from research institutions, universities, governments and companies working on technologies that are changing how food and agricultural products are developed.

Coverage includes gene editing, genetically modified crops, precision fermentation, microbial biotechnology, synthetic biology, biofortification, alternative proteins, functional foods and food-safety technologies. Developments can range from CRISPR-based improvements in crops and livestock to microorganisms engineered to produce food ingredients, proteins, enzymes and other materials. Research into improved nutritional quality, shelf life, climate resilience and resource efficiency is also an important part of this rapidly developing field.

Find updates on scientific breakthroughs, new products and ingredients, regulatory decisions, safety assessments, commercialisation, research partnerships and investment across the global food and agriculture industry. Coverage also includes organisations and companies developing biological solutions for crop nutrition, food ingredients, fermentation, plant breeding and sustainable food production, providing context on how advances in biotechnology are moving from laboratories and research programmes toward practical applications in the food system.
