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 […] Submission from Third World Network to the Open-Ended Working Group of Legal and Technical Experts on Liability and Redress in the context of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. […] This submission from the New Zealand Institute of Gene Ecology is to support Food Standards Australia/New Zealand’s preparation of an application to amend the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code to allow foods derived from corn line LY038. […] What has been achieved with the BCH is remarkable but the BCH is NOT sufficient to all the tasks required under the Cartegena Biosafety Protocol, nor does it contain the reliable and comprehensive information necessary for biosafety decision-making. […] 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. […] This report issued by the USDA auditor, the Office of Inspector General, found that the department has failed to properly oversee field trials of GE crops, including plants designed to produce chemicals for medical and industrial use.
