Over 400 people attended, including 230 delegates from 75 member countries and the European Union, as well as representatives of intergovernmental organizations, private sector entities, civil society organizations, academia/research organizations and producer organizations/cooperatives.

The proceedings provide the main highlights of th e symposium which covered a broad range of biotechnologies, from low-tech approaches such as those involving use of microbial fermentation processes, biofertilizers, biopesticides and artificial insemination, to high-tech approaches such as those involving advanced DNA-based methodologies and genetically modified organisms. <p></p>Read the <a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-i5922e.pdf">full report</a></p> <p>Full report chapter by chapter:</p> <ul><li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bo976e.pdf">Int roduction to the Proceedings</a></ul> <ul><li><a href="http://www.fao.org/3/a-bo977e.pdf">Chapter 1.
