This review discusses the factors that should be considered in the assessment of the risks of GM plants to soil microorganisms, the limitations of current research methods, and the prospects for better biosafety assessment. […]

Call for a review of risk assessment methods for GM crops and glyphosate-based herbicides based on new studies which employed the latest ‘omics’ techniques to disprove earlier claims of safety. […] Cutting-edge molecular profiling analyses reveal that the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) caused non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats at doses thousands of times below what is permitted by regulators worldwide. […] A new study disproves claims that a GM Roundup-tolerant maize is ‘substantially equivalent’ to its non-GM counterpart, highlighting the need for a more thorough evaluation of the safety of consuming products derived from this GM maize on a long-term basis […] The first map of smallholder farms in developing countries shows that more than 380 million small farms produce more than half the world’s food calories. […] A new study has found field-evolved resistance in a major corn pest to multiple Bt toxins in the U.S, showing up the failings of Bt crops. […] A study has found that 40% of studies on the efficacy or durability of GM Bt crops display conflicts of interest, which was associated with higher frequency of outcomes favorable to the interests of the GM crop company. […] Recommendations from the FAO’s regional symposium on agroecology in Europe and Central Asia to take agroecology forward in the region. […] The organic movement is expanding its stand on the exclusion of GM from organic systems, to include new technologies like synthetic biology and new plant breeding techniques. […] EU and US consumers call for products derived from new genetic engineering techniques to be regulated and labeled as GMOs. […] |
