A study has examined the potential intended and unintended impacts of the mass release of GM insects on organic farmers, finding that this is likely to impose uncertainty on individual farmers and the agricultural industry as a whole. […] This review discusses the factors that should be considered in the assessment of the risks of GM plants to soil microorganisms, the limitations of current research methods, and the prospects for better biosafety assessment. […] Two scientists examine the real causes for the failure of genetically modified Golden Rice. […] This publication shows that maize farming by smallholders in Africa is particularly vulnerable to the uncontrolled spread of GM varieties, due to pollen- and human-mediated gene flow. […] GE mosquito company Oxitec has admitted a major risk of its technology – reducing one mosquito species may increase the numbers of a second disease-carrying species. […] An article discusses the reasons for the failure of Bt cotton in Burkina Faso and the implications for GE crop uptake by other African nations. […] GM wheat that has not been approved for sale or commercial production in the U.S has been found growing in a field in Washington state. […] More than 270,000 people have raised concerns over the US FDA’s review of Oxitec’s planned release of genetically engineered mosquitoes in Florida. […] R&D on the genetic modification of traditional crops is underway in seven African countries. This report explains how these projects are diverting resources, policies and practices, away from implementing real solutions to hunger and malnutrition. […] This article, written by an entomologist and mosquito vector control expert, argues why genetic modification of mosquitoes is no answer to mosquito-borne diseases. […] |
