Since 2021, GM fall armyworm larvae have been released in field trials, in Bt corn fields in Brazil. This strategy attempts to overcome the development of insect resistance to Bt toxins. […] A US research centre has created a gene-edited variety of teff which Ethiopia may take up, raising unanswered questions over its safety, ownership, and impact on local varieties. […] This briefing argues that the South African regulators failed in the exercise of their biosafety oversight role to implement the precautionary principle, in granting approval for the importation of GM wheat to enter the South African food system. […] Genetic modifications in animals accelerate the privatization of living organisms, the concentration of capital and the loss of autonomy of breeders, perpetuating an agro-industrial system. […] Opposition to GM mustard approval in India continues, amidst questions over biosafety data and regulatory lapses. […] The release of GE trees would pose serious threats to forests and other ecosystems, as well as to many local communities and Indigenous peoples. […] GM wheat has been approved for planting in Argentina, and for import in Brazil. However, the GM wheat is giving poor yields, around two-thirds of the average for non-GM wheat. […] There are substantial deficiencies in the risk assessment of Bt cowpea approved for cultivation in Nigeria, with several issues of concern regarding the safety of the Bt toxins produced in the plants. […] Transgenic glowing fish have escaped fish farms and are thriving in creeks in Brazil, posing a threat to local species by competing for food or preying on them. […] This paper shows how malaria, along with other diseases, is increasingly financialised – financial markets, institutions, actors and motives play a pivotal role in disease response, including in the case of GM/gene drive mosquitoes.
