A study published in the journal ‘Environmental Science & technology’ suggests that poor farmers in developing countries can increase agricultural productivity by adopting “resource-conserving” or sustainable agriculture. […] This is a discussion-document by the Working Group on Genetic Engineering of the Justice, Peace and Creation Team of the World Council of Churches. It discusses the implications of genetic engineering on human life and agriculture. […] This is a guide to the precautionary principle and describe how it can be used to make preventive decisions in the face of uncertainty and to drive actions that will protect public health and the environment. […] Diets containing GM potatoes expressing the lectin Galanthus nivalis agglutinin had variable effects on different parts of the rat gastrointestinal tract. […] Gut microbes that cannot be recovered in artificial culture may acquire and harbor genes from genetically modified plants. […] The author raises his concern on the present understanding of genetic engineering and calls for more thorough examination of GMOs before they are introduced into the food supply. […] This synopsis reviews published in vivo studies on possible health consequences of genetically modified food and feed where the ingredients in question have consisted of genetically modified plant materials. […] 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. […] Some poxviruses are very attractive as transgenic vaccine vectors for humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Poxviridae family members circulate in different ecosystems and parts of the world, providing a pool of possible recombination partners for released or escaped genetically modified poxviruses. […] |
