This new branch of biotechnology is termed pharming, composed of the terms pharmaceuticals and farming. Pharming constitutes an overlap of red and green biotechnology. It offers the prospect of a quicker, cheaper, and more flexible production of biopharmaceuticals compared with current production processes. This is a promising perspective in light of the rapidly growing market of biopharmaceuticals, although the economic competitiveness of pharming remains to be proven. Besides possible benefits for producers, patients and health care systems, pharming also raises a number of complex ecological, social, moral and legal questions that have as yet not been thoroughly discussed. ...The present book contains the findings of an interdisciplinary research project that has addressed a large range of questions associated with pharming: An analysis of the state-of-the-art of plant pharming and animal pharming technologies is followed by an assessment of environmental risks related to pharming and welfare risks for pharming a | 出版日期 | Book 2009 | 关键词 | Pharming; biotechnology; morality; protein; proteins; biochemical engineering | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-85793-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-09935-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-540-85793-8Series ISSN 1860-4803 Series E-ISSN 1860-4811 | issn_series | 1860-4803 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2009 |
