  • Sep, Biotechnologist: ‘We use biotechnology to make the inedible portions of certain raw materials edible.’

    'I am a biotechnologist. This means I conduct research, for example into the development of new products that contribute to a responsible food chain. This can be virtually anything such as animal feeds, fertiliser enhancers and the like. To do this, we use micro organisms in smart ways.'
