Environmental applications of GM microorganisms pose critical biosafety and wider governance risks. These warrant updating current risk assessment approaches and implementation of broader sustainability analysis and other methods of technology assessment. […]

A study has found that US farmers are planting too much GM Bt maize, leading to increased resistance in corn rootworm and substantial economic losses. […] A just transition to fossil fuel-free food systems is urgently needed. This means phasing out chemical inputs, investing in agroecology, and rebuilding resilient local food systems. […] All NGT animals must be thoroughly examined for intentional and unintentional effects in order to adequately protect the environment, consumers, food production, agriculture and breeding. […] Rhetoric around engineered gene drive systems often goes along with a negative presentation of current tools and exaggerated promises about gene drives themselves, leading to a situation of hype. […] Research aiming to genetically modify male mosquitoes so that their sperm produce molecules that will poison female mosquitoes raises a host of unanswered questions. […] To counter industrial agriculture’s claim to feed the world, the Grassroots Evidence for Agroecology Initiative presents strong evidence that agroecology can be scaled as the foundation of sustainable and equitable food systems. […] Study finds significant perinatal health effects – babies born earlier and underweight – due to increased glyphosate exposure linked to GM crop cultivation in rural United States, especially for historically disadvantaged groups. […] There are technically viable, but politically ignored, options to raise large sums of funding for agroecological transformations, such as taxing the ultra-rich, reducing military spending, disinvesting in industrial agriculture and redirecting funding away from greenwashed false solutions. […] The integration of AI into genetic engineering (generative AI) raises concerns that plants with unsafe and undesirable traits may be engineered and released into the environment. […] |
