The ability to engineer self-replicative organisms makes it possible to reach a new level of sustainability, where the target population becomes independant. However, when going from a concept to reality, from labs lead by specialists to the community, a lot of technical challenges arise. When inventing new biotechnological devices, biologists have access to biosafety cabinets, powerful freezers and autoclaves, but the people who need our product the most won't have these. For a biological product to leave the benches and actually reach the population, it's essential to foresee its life in the hands of the people who will cultivate it and make sure it stays alive all along. | The ability to engineer self-replicative organisms makes it possible to reach a new level of sustainability, where the target population becomes independant.
