Strategies to develop biotechnology in the Philippines
In the Philippines, biotechnology is used to industrialize agriculture. The country's biomass resources are vast and varied. In 1982 30 million tons of biomass was harvested. Efforts to biologically convert biomass into useful products are promising. BIOTECH (The National Institutes of Biotechnology and Applied Microbiology), based at the University of the Philippines at Los Baños, has research programs on biofuelds, food fermentation, nitrogen fixation and mycorrhiza, antibiotics, microbial insecticides, and genetic engineering
