Biotech gets backing

Article Abstract:

Investors at a number of major US food manufacturers have rejected calls for an industry-wide ban on the use of biotechnology products. The companies, which include PepsiCo Inc, Safeway Inc and Quaker Oats Co, have announced that their shareholders have refused to follow suggestions aimed at entirely eliminating biotech ingredients used in their products. The decision clashes with that made by such firms as Heinz, Gerber and McDonald's.

A quantum leap

Article Abstract:

Innovations in crop protection technology has resulted in continued evolution and changes in the companies involved in crop protection. Initially, the major players in crop protection were basic chemical manufacturers and oil companies that used petrohemicals as feedstock for crop protection products. These companies have been succeeded by life science companies involved in pharmaceuticals, animal health and crop protection.

Better images for remote sensing

Article Abstract:

Space Imaging Inc has launched the IKONOS satellite, the wold's first high-resolution commercial Earth imaging satellite. IKONOS' remotely- sensed imagery serves as an agricultural monitoring tool that dealerships, agronomists and farm producers can use to scout what is happening in their fields and detect problem areas invicible to the human eye. Images from IKONOS range in cost from $30 to $45 per square mile.
