Agricultural biotechnology (agrobiotechnology) is endowed with great significance in today’s world, taking up roles of increasing agricultural productivity and farmers’ income, safeguarding food security, improving human health and nutrition, as well as conserving the environment and ecology. It also offers solutions in overcoming critical challenges such as population growth, climate change, environmental pollution, pest and diseases, food inequality, social disparity, etc., in the present and the future.Initiated and hosted by Professor Hon-Ming Lam at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Agrobiotechnology Talk Series kicked off in November 2020 and was broadcasted worldwide with the aim to promote agrobiotechnology, enhance understanding of the potential applications of agricultural products, and establish an exchange platform to connect people who are engaged/interested in the agrobiotechnology field, such as international and local scholars, researchers, agricultural industry practitioners as well as the general public.This edited review volume documents selected agrobiotechnology talks of the series in 13 chapters, bringing together the knowledge and expert insights of agrobiotechnology by international and local speakers with diverse expertise. It covers a wide range of topics from food chemistry and nutrition, seed trade and quality assurance, plant breeding, agricultural product marketing, crop genomics, soybean culture and history, plant laws, agribusiness, sustainability, chemical pollution, to food security.This book provides not only the latest knowledge and technology sharing in the field of agrobiotechnology, but also covers a wider perspective such as legal and industrial perspectives of how agrobiotechnology is/can be applied and the issues concerning agrobiotechnology applications.
