    The United States biotechnology sector represents a multibillion-dollar industry encompassing agriculture, pharmaceuticals, environmental applications, and industrial manufacturing. In agriculture, genetically modified crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton dominate U.S. farmland. Animal agriculture benefits from improved feed efficiency, disease resistance, reproductive technologies, and production of high-value biopharmaceuticals.
