Biotecnologia e Meio Ambiente são temas aparentemente incompatíveis. Entretanto, como demonstra esta obra, as duas ciências estão diretamente ligadas e são mutuamente complementares. É impossível o estudo, a conservação e exploração da biodiversidade de forma auto-sustentável sem o uso das técnicas da biotecnologia. Por outro lado, é impossível pensar na biodiversidade, fonte de matéria-prima para seu uso racional. Escrito em linguagem franca e de fácil compreensão, Biotecnologia e Meio Ambiente, traz informações científicas sobre a aplicação da biotecnologia na agricultura e apresenta o estado da arte nessa área, com o objetivo de ajudar o leitor a formar uma opinião crítica e segura sobre o tema, a partir do que há de mais atual.

Climate change is likely to have significant impacts on the agricultural sector to which farmers will have to adapt. While agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it is also a source of carbon storage in soils. This report examines the economic and policy issues related to the impacts of climate change on agriculture and adaptation responses and to the mitigation of greenhouse gases from agriculture. It outlines research undertaken and underway in other national and international research agencies. It also highlights some of the knowledge gaps on the impacts of climate change on food production and the uncertainties of those impacts in a global context that warrant further research efforts. In particular, the report analyses marginal abatement cost curves, which show the relative costs of achieving reductions in greenhouse gas emission through the implementation of different actions in the agricultural sector. The aim of the report is to help guide policy makers in the design of policies to address climate change issues in agriculture.
