CSIRO believes there is a window of great opportunity for Australia, its community and industries, in the adoption of biotechnology research, particularly gene technologies. These give Australia scope to improve our health, create a safer and more secure food supply, generate prosperity and attain a more sustainable environment.

We are exploring many different kinds of biotechnology applications in plants, animals, human health and in helping cleaning up our environment.
