Agro and Food industries
In the food industry, the new farming technologies and biotechnology improve the quality of foodstuffs and animal feeds, thereby helping to reduce health risks.
Research into the genome and biomedical engineering are already producing an increasing number of safer, more ethical medications and veterinary products. The combination of plant breeding and traditional methods of integrated farming produces healthier plants capable of expressing their potential even under trying conditions.
In the industrial sector, chemistry helps to improve the use of industrial commodities for the energy conversion and pharmaceutical industries.
Natural resource management means protecting and improving the environment, mainly the air, soil and water. Research focuses on developing cleaner products and manufacturing processes, improving waste processing and more sustainable agricultural practices.
Translations in these fields are highly specialised and require translators with multiple skills.
