Whois & Analysis for geneticliteracyproject.org

The stated purpose of the Genetic Literacy Project (GLP) is to promote public awareness and discussion of genetics, biotechnology, evolution and science literacy.

It was founded by science journalist Jon Entine, who is its executive director.

The staff produces articles focusing on human genetics as well as on food and farming issues, including genetic engineering, the use and impact of crop protection chemicals and pollinator health.

It also aggregates articles from various published sources.

Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use" (UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Art.

2).

Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing, molecular engineering, etc.

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

It is generally considered a field of biology, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

Science is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

Agriculture is the cultivation and breeding of animals, plants and fungi for food, fiber, biofuel, medicinal plants and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.

Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science.

The history of agriculture dates back thousands of years, and its development has been driven and defined by greatly different climates, cultures, and technologies.

Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture farming has become the dominant agricultural methodology.
