Te authors report that pollen-mediated gene flow up to 31 m from Bt maize caused low to moderate Bt toxin levels in kernels of non-Bt maize refuge plants. […] When genetically modified soya came on the scene it seemed like a heaven-sent solution to Argentina’s agricultural problems. Now soya is being blamed for an environmental crisis that is threatening the country’s fragile economic recovery. Sue Branford d […] While the biopharmaceutical industry as a whole has had some limited success, attempts to employ GE plants as a production platform for “plant-made pharmaceuticals” have foundered despite 15 years’ of field trials and huge infusions of capital. […] This study announces the results of a three-year study (2002-2005) of the impact of bollworm resistant Bt cotton in Andhra Pradesh in India. The results of the survey revealed that Monsanto hybrids were utter failure compared to the Non-Bt hybrids. […] Fr Sean McDonagh of the Columban Missionary writes on the ethical and moral aspects of genetic engineering. He is critical of the corporate powers which continue to push GM food despite evidence that such food could have health impacts. […] Arpad Pusztai and Susan Bardocz describe the step-by-step process of conducting risk assessment on GM food/plants. […] This briefing reviews the different approaches used to prevent GM contamination and considers their effectiveness and practicality. This is important because ‘biological containment’ is being promoted as a biosafety issue. […] Report finds only modest gains for farmers who grow genetically engineered pharmaceutical crops. […] This Farmers’ Guide to GMOs addresses some of the many issues that are associated with farmers’ use of GMOs. It also includes a list of resources to explore for further information on many GMO issues. […] Research found that peas modified to resist insects had caused inflammation in the lung tissues of mice which led the CSIRO to abandon a decade-long GM crop project. […] |
