Digital Matters - Issue 29
Though it appeared in Fast Company in the November 1999 issue, the article still serves as a rather good, albeit slightly outdated primer for genomics/ biotechnology.
 
The Test Tube Forest
Bioengineered forestry promises to remake the US$ 750 billion global forestry business, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, having already received applications to test 138 types of genetically modified trees.
According to CellFor (a company engaged in the genetic modification of trees, to improve yield) , reproducing elite trees with its battery of clonal techniques can increase wood production by as much as 60 percent from one generation of trees to the next.
However, the ethical and environmental questions still remain.
