Answer to Question 1

Answer: water; market

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Biotechnology offers genetically altered crops that can be custom designed to fit the environment and produce bountiful harvests. It can even replace chemical pesticides. Breeding natural herbicides and pesticides into the plants themselves reduces the enormous quantities of chemicals and energy consumed in the manufacture, packaging, distribution, and application of chemical herbicides and pesticides. For example, new genetically modified maize significantly reduces the need for pesticides on that crop, and a new type of Russet Burbank potato contains its own protection against the Colorado potato beetle.
