| Abstract | Asserting that developmental growth is easier to attain in developing countries than social change, this paper assesses the prospective impact of biotechnology on the developing nations. Biotechnology is defined as the integrated use of biochemistry, microbiology, and chemical engineering to achieve the industrial processes of fermentation, enzyme reaction, and genetic engineering. This paper examines biotechnology's impact on agriculture, industry, health, and defense and considers its role in the processes of economic, social, and political change in developing countries in terms of: (1) the structure of the global biotechnology industry; (2) past lessons learned from the worldwide industrialization of agriculture (the Green Revolution); (3) current and future trends in the development of biotechnology; and (4) minimizing damage and maximizing benefits for developing nations' populations.
