Branches of biotechnology

Biotechnology has several different branches which are referred to by different terms mainly marked with different colors to describe the biotechnological field that it is used in. The most widely used ones will be introduced here. First of all there is the red biotechnology that is used for medical processes, like finding genetic cures by going through genomic manipulations and creating organisms to produce antibiotics.

Green biotechnology is used in reference to agricultural processes that use biotechnology. Some examples of that would be the development of transgenic plants that are designed to survive under specific environmental conditions. A big goal of the green biotechnology is to develop more environment friendly solutions, for example to find a way remove the need for pesticides.

The term used for industrial biotechnology is white biotechnology. This kind of biotechnology is used to reduce the costs for producing industrial goods that occur when traditional processes are used. For example, white biotechnology can develop an organism that is able to produce a certain beneficial chemical by natural processes rather than by industrial ways that it was done beforehand.

Some other examples of branches of biotechnology are blue biotechnology that deals with marine and aquatic usages of biotechnology, but that is not very widely used. When talking about not the direct research parts of biotechnology then bioeconomy is used to talk about the investments and the economical benefits that biotechnology brings.

is there any scope of biotechnology in india?
if there is any scope in india then wat is the minimum qualification to get the good job? in india only.
or just we have to rush abroad for good job bcoz i've heard that in india we donn't get job unless we have P.hd with minimum 5 yrs experience in biotechnology branch.
i m student of B.tech (biotech) 2nd year.
