Abstract
As the “Century of Biology” advances, multiple technologies are converging in the development of creative new approaches to sustainability in manufacturing. Genetics, artificial intelligence, engineering, and chemistry are combining to solve many of the world’s pressing problems in agriculture, food, medicine, and the environment. Here we summarize some of these developments to illustrate the kind of advances in bio-manufacturing that exemplify new approaches to sustainable manufacturing. Accompanying these developments are concerns with the possible dual-use aspects of some of these technologies. We discuss some of the approaches within the biotechnology field to allay such concerns.
