It is the first time that China has released such a plan focusing on developing bio-medicine, bio-agriculture, biomass substitution and bio-safety.

Wang Xiang, a senior official with NDRC, said that based on the protection, development, allocation and use of biological resources, the plan would systematically promote the extensive penetration of life science and biotechnology into medicine, health, agriculture, energy, environmental protection and other fields.

Xiang said that it would also speed up the construction of a modern biological industry system, and lay a solid foundation for the rapid and healthy development of biological economy.
