| Agriculture Agriculture refers to the production of food and goods through farming and forestry. Agriculture was the key development that led to the rise of civilization, with the husbandry of domesticated animals and plants (i.e. crops) creating food surpluses that enabled the development of more densely populated and stratified societies. The study of agriculture is known as agricultural science (the related practice of gardening is studied in horticulture). Agriculture | |
| Commercialization of traditional medicines Biopiracy is a negative term for the appropriation, generally by means of patents, of legal rights over indigenous knowledge - particularly indigenous biomedical knowledge - without compensation to the indigenous groups who originally developed such knowledge.

| Grey goo Grey goo is a hypothetical end-of-the-world scenario involving molecular nanotechnology in which out-of-control self-replicating robots consume all matter on Earth while building more of themselves—a scenario known as ecophagy ("eating the environment"). The term grey goo is usually used in a science fiction context. Grey_goo | |

| ETC Group ETC Group is an international organization dedicated to "the conservation and sustainable advancement of cultural and ecological diversity and human rights." The full legal name is Action Group on Erosion, Technology and Concentration. "ETC" is intended to be pronounced "et cetera." ETC_Group | |
| Biopunk Biopunk (a portmanteau word combining "biotechnology" and "punk") is a term used to describe A hobbyist who experiments with DNA and other aspects of genetics. A techno-progressive movement advocating open access to genetic information. A science fiction genre that focuses on biotechnology and subversives. Biopunk | |
| Human Genome Diversity Project Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) was started by Stanford University's Morrison Institute and a collaboration of scientists around the world. Human Genome Project, and has attempted to maintain a completely distinct identity. Unlike the latter, which has attempted to map the entire human genome, the HGDP has attempted to map the DNA that varies between humans, which is less than 1% different.

| Emerging technologies Emerging technologies and converging technologies are terms used to cover various cutting-edge developments in the emergence and convergence of technology. Emerging technologies are those which represent new and significant developments within a field; converging techologies represent previously distinct fields which are in some way moving towards stronger inter-connection and similar goals.

| Implications of nanotechnology The implications of nanotechnology run the gamut of human affairs from the medical, ethical, mental, legal and environmental, to fields such as engineering, biology, chemistry, computing, materials science, military applications, and communications. Benefits of nanotechnology include improved manufacturing methods, water purification systems, energy systems, physical enhancement, nanomedicine, better food production methods and nutrition and large scale infrastructure auto-fabrication.

| Sarcoca dodecandra Sarcoca dodecandra, basionym Phytolacca dodecandra, commonly known as endod, Gopo Berry, or African soapberry, is a trailing shrub or climber native to Tropical Africa, Southern Africa, and Madagascar.Endod has been selected and cultivated by Africans for centuries, particularly in Ethiopia. It is used as a soap and shampoo as well as a poison to stun fish. Endod or እንዶድ in Amharic is lethal to snails Sarcoca_dodecandra | |
| Nanotoxicology For the scientific journal Nanotoxicology, see Nanotoxicology (journal).Nanotoxicology is the study of the toxicity of nanomaterials. Because of quantum size effects and large surface area, nanomaterials have unique properties compared with their larger counterparts . Nanotoxicology | |
| Ultrafine particles Ultrafine particles (UFPs) are nanoscale, less than 100 nanometres. There are two main divisions that categorize types of UFPs. UFPs can either be carbon-based or metallic, and then can be further subdivided by their magnetic properties. Electron microscopy and special physical lab conditions allow scientists to observe UFP morphology. Ultrafine_particles | |
| Societal implications of nanotechnology The societal implications of nanotechnology are the potential benefits and challenges that the introduction of novel nanotechnological devices and materials may hold for society and human interaction. The term is sometimes expanded to also include nanotechnology's health and environmental implications, but this article will only consider the social and political implications of nanotechnology.

| Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions Climate Change was a conference on Climate Change held at the Bella Center by the University of Copenhagen. The event was organised with the assistance of other universities in the International Alliance of Research Universities. The stated aim of the conference was to provide "a summary of existing scientific knowledge two years after the last IPCC report." The conference took place on the 10-12th March 2009.
