[…] Biotechnology does not address the real causes of poverty and hunger, concludes a recent study which examined the impact of three genetically modified crops on poverty alleviation in Africa. […] Lim Li Ching highlights evidence of genetic engineering hazards that can throw light on the way forward in building an international biosafety system […] Lim Li Ching highlights evidence of hazards of genetic engineering that can throw light on the way forward in building an international biosafety system. […] Argentina’s disastrous experience with GE crops should be an object lesson to developing countries which cling to the illusion that this technology will foster genuine development, says an activist. […] The First Meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is tasked with building an international biosafety system, including a liability and redress regime. Lim Li Ching highlights evidence of hazards that can throw light on the way forwar […] The following article considers whether there is any justification for the optimistic outlook for biotechnology and whether it would be prudent for developing countries to devote their limited financial resources to this technology. […] The First Meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is tasked with building an international biosafety system. Lim Li Ching highlights evidence of hazards in the way forward. […] Impacts of Genetically Engineered Crops on Pesticide Use in the United States: The First Eight YearsThe first comprehensive study of the impacts of all major commercial GE crops on pesticide use in the US between 1996-2003. If found that found that GE, especially soyabeans, showed substantial increase in herbicides use compared to conventional plant va […] This paper recasts the debate over biotechnology by moving past overly general hyperbole, and instead empirically evaluating current experiences with GM crops in Africa.
