This may seem a strange question, for a Network with Environmental Biotechnology as its title – but it’s one we are convinced needs addressing. We tried the animation, we have the Social Sciences WG report and presentation. Now the whole EBNet Management Team has put together a paper:
What is Environmental Biotechnology? Widely applied, but a clear definition of the term is still needed. Heaven, S., Kusch-Brandt, S., Byfield, L., Bywater, A., Coulon, F., Curtis, T., Gutierrez, T., Higson, A. and Sadhukhan, J., 2025. Environments 2025, 12(10), 393; https://doi.org/10.3390/environments12100393
It’s a big topic because the fact is most people don’t know, and those who think they do very often don’t agree.
So expect to see more on this over the next few weeks as we try to raise awareness of this non-trivial question – and of a vital, fascinating and under-valued discipline…
