An evaluation of the risk assessment for IRRI’s application for food import of Golden Rice 2 in Australia and New Zealand finds flawed data, failure to show any substantial benefits, and a high likelihood of risks. […]

Recent research by Indian scientists has shown that introducing Golden Rice transgenes had severe and unexpected effects on plant growth and yields. […] Golden Rice crossed with an Indian rice variety has produced plants with stunted growth and reduced yield. These hitherto undetected effects could endanger the harvest and raise concerns about transgene spread into cultivated and wild rice varieties. […] Two scientists examine the real causes for the failure of genetically modified Golden Rice. […] A new publication from GenØk-Centre for Biosafety, Norway shows that maize farming by smallholders in Africa, for local food production, is particularly vulnerable to the introduction of genetically modified (GM) maize. […] 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. […] 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. […] The Mexican Chapter of the Permanent Peoples’ Tribunal has called on the Mexican government to ban the planting of GM maize in the country. […] Unapproved GM wheat has been discovered growing in Montana following a similar discovery last year in Oregon. The GM wheat was only authorized for field trials between 2000-2003, and no GM wheat has ever been commercialized. […] A Mexican court has upheld an injunction against the further testing or commercialization of GM maize in the country, on the grounds of risk of imminent harm to the environment. […] |
