About Council for Biotechnology Information

The Council for Biotechnology Information (CBI) communicates science-based information about the benefits and safety of agricultural biotechnology and its contributions to sustainable development. Its members are the leading agricultural biotechnology companies.

Plant biotechnology is already helping the world grow more and better food. It is also producing greater yields of crops used to produce biofuels to help meet our energy needs. In addition, the development of drought-tolerant crops are helping farmers cope with drought and water shortages, in order to better preserve and manage our water resources. This new technology holds even more promise for a sustainable future in each of these areas.
