Authors

April 23, 2018

Abidjan offre de nombreuses options pour les consommateurs, qui évoluent dans un contexte compétitif de large choix, en termes de lieux, de produits et de services. Les nouveaux centres commerciaux sont, dans le sens commun, associés aux classes moyennes. Mais quelles réalités et évolutions sociales reflètent-ils réellement ?

    Building on decades of biochemistry research, bioengineers have successfully transferred genes across species to produce living organisms (plants and animals, including fish) with desired traits. Unlike traditional breeding practiced over 10,000 years, this process takes years not centuries from initial conception to field testing and commercialization. Given its precision and range of application, biotechnology has even been compared to ‘playing God’. Since the mid-1990s, major gen ...
