If you go for medical then it has more good scope and incentives than agriculture in biotechnology.
In medicine, modern biotechnology finds promising applications in such areas as

drug production
pharmacogenomics
gene therapy
Cloning
genetic testing (or genetic screening): techniques in molecular biology detect genetic diseases. To test the developing fetus for Down syndrome, Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling can be used.

While in agriculture you will find:
Crop yield
Reduced vulnerability of crops to environmental stresses
Improved taste, texture or appearance of food
Reduced dependence on fertilizers, pesticides and other agrochemicals
Genetically modified food
