Welcome to the AgBiotech InfoSource On-Line!
The AgBiotech InfoSource is a two-page fact sheet that provides basic information on agricultural biotechnology topics in simple, direct language. Its objective is to create awareness of the various areas of biotechnology, particularly as they pertain to the Saskatchewan and Canadian agbiotech industry.
The InfoSource is aimed at high school students, and instructors as supplementary teaching material, and at adults who wish to learn more about the industry.
The AgBiotech InfoSource is available in the following formats:
- full-graphic Adobe Acrobat format (.PDF)
(Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on your computer in order to view the Publication in this format. The Adobe Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free-of-charge from the Adobe Acrobat website: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat). - 'rich-text' format
