The Philippine Supreme Court has upheld a decision in permanently stopping field trials for genetically modified Bt talong (Bt brinjal) in the country, citing a lack of scientific consensus on the safety of the food crop. […] This report looks at the critical role African rural women play in maintaining the continent’s diverse and resilient agricultural systems. […] The US EPA has revoked its approval of Dow’s “Enlist Duo” herbicide cocktail of glyphosate and 2,4-D on receiving new information that there are likely to be synergistic effects, i.e, greater than expected toxicity of the two ingredients combined. […] Canada has approved the commercialisation of GMOs for 20 years now. This report examines and critiques Canada’s biosafety regulatory system. […] An international group of scientists have called for a moratorium on inheritable human genome editing until the risks can be better assessed and there is broad societal consensus about the appropriateness of the technology. […] Experts discuss how agroecology can transform the current unsustainable agro-food system and nourish the whole world, and what should be done to effect this transition. […] Two studies which have examined the combinatorial effects of Bt toxins in stacked GM crops and the biosafety and biological effects of Bt toxins on mammals have found a serious gap in knowledge about these effects. […] A new report identifies the scientific uncertainties, knowledge gaps and research needs related to the introduction, use and environmental assessment of GMOs. […] These case studies demonstrate the tremendous success of agroecological agriculture in Africa in the face of climate change, hunger and poverty. […] |
