This report concludes that gene editing remains slow, uncertain and largely unproven in delivering public benefits, despite claims that it would turbo-charge plant breeding. […] Research on genetically engineered self-spreading vaccines should remain confined to laboratory and strictly contained settings, while international efforts focus on developing credible ecological monitoring, long-term modelling, and governance mechanisms that would be prerequisites for any future consideration of environmental release. […] At SBSTTA 27, a small minority of Parties blocked progress on the development of further guidance materials on risk assessment. […] This paper debunks the myth of financial scarcity to finance the much needed transformation of agri-food systems, by focusing on structural economic constraints such as redirecting finance and subsidies, and using progressive taxation measures. […] This study has found that in fields where resistance to Bt has evolved in the US, the combination of Bt and RNA interference provides less protection from corn rootworm damage. […] Being risk-informed is key to building resilient, ethical, and future-proof agrifood systems. […] Burkina Faso has formally shut down Target Malaria’s activities nationwide, reflecting growing scepticism over the safety, ethics, and necessity of GM mosquito experiments. […] This briefing summarises the concerns over genetically modifying nature. The consequences of releasing GM organisms into natural ecosystems are unpredictable and irreversible. […] The continued deployment of the feed-the-world myth works to suppress the real alternative – “a world that feeds itself” through approaches like agroecology that promote local sovereignty. […] |
