This study highlights the need for plants developed using new genetic engineering techniques to undergo case-specific risk assessment, taking both the properties of the end product and risks posed by the applied procedures into account. […]

This publication warns about the erosion of the general consensus that laboratory modifications of self-spreading viruses are genetically too unstable to be used safely and predictably outside contained facilities, opening the door to risky research. […] The German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation has concluded that plants derived from new genomic techniques have a similar or even greater risk potential than plants obtained from older genetic engineering techniques. […] This new report shows how genome editing will only entrench the destructive patterns of industrial agriculture, making it a false solution to the climate crisis, and why agroecology is the more sustainable solution for agriculture. […] A study using CRISPR/Cas on zebrafish is the first to detect large unintended structural changes at off-target sites. […] Genome edited organisms must be strictly regulated to allow for thorough characterisation of the full spectrum of unintended effects associated with the technology. […] The Swiss National Council, which is the lower house of the Swiss Federal Assembly, has extended the moratorium on the cultivation of genetically modified (including gene-edited) plants in agriculture by another four years until the end of 2025. […] Experiences of applying, replicating, learning, sharing and bringing to life the principles of agroecology in Chile provide important insights for scaling up agroecology. […] A proposed framework that regulates new biotechnologies by using a ‘critical control points’ governance framework to regulate technology consistently with its risk to cause harm. […] Early warning of field-evolved resistance of the corn earworm and bollworm to Bt toxin VIP3Aa, the only Bt toxin in transgenic corn and cotton that remains effective against some populations of this pest in the U.S. […] |
