National and international laws and regulations governing the release of genetically modified microbes should operationalize the precautionary principle to protect human health and the environment, with robust pre-release risk assessment and continuous post-release monitoring. […]

– This report examines how public development banks can support the transformation of food systems toward sustainability and equity by investing in agroecology. […] The article summarises advances in genome editing applications that show at-scale outdoor deployment outside of containment and controlled facilities is approaching feasibility, potentially exposing organisms to active biological agents and necessitating new risk assessment frameworks. […] A broken and unjust food system does not need to be made more resilient—it needs to be transformed to support resilient societies. […] A study has found that CRISPR/Cas gene-editing unintentionally disrupts multiple gene functions in a way that is passed to successive cell generations. […] New report uncovers how corporate-led digitalization of farming is reshaping power, deepening dependency, and challenging sustainability. It also highlights the farmer-led innovations building resilient food systems, and calls for change. […] – A seminal 2000 paper which claimed that glyphosate was not a health risk to humans has been retracted by the journal which published it, citing various ethical concerns. […] New study demonstrates that supporting farmer-led agroecology improves resilience, yields, income, and wellbeing even in dry conditions in Burkina Faso. […] This briefing concludes that deregulating gene-edited organisms will inevitably compromise the ability of governments or trading blocs to protect biosecurity internally and across international borders. […] This proof-of-concept study that shows that genome-edited organisms can be detected in the food chain. […] |
