Around the world, innovative agroecological farmers are combining local and scientific knowledge, putting resilience thinking into practice to feed growing populations and cope with climate change, water scarcity, market volatility, and more. […] A growing body of scientific studies highlights the risks and unintended consequences from the use of new genetic engineering techniques such as gene editing in agriculture. […] The State Government of Andhra Pradesh in India has launched the Zero Budget Natural Farming programme which aims to transition 6 million farms/farmers to 100% chemical-free agriculture by 2024. […] Damage to crops from dicamba drift from GE dicamba-tolerant soybean fields in the US cover at least 10 states with state regulators struggling to keep up with the pace of complaints. […] As Cuba faces a prolonged drought, agroecology offers a promising means by which to increase farm resilience. […] A new study has found that CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing can cause greater genetic damage in cells than was previously thought, creating safety implications for gene therapies using CRISPR/Cas9. […] Research has revealed that where there is gene flow from GE glyphosate-resistant plants into natural populations, the offspring may have increased fitness to spread into the environment. […] Agroecology can contribute greatly to dietary diversity and high-quality human diets by promoting more biodiverse, equitable and sustainable food systems […] This report explores the urgent need for a global governance framework for gene drive, given the technology’s powerful implications for wild species and ecosystems. It identifies principles and essential elements for such a framework. […] |
