[…] Agroecology can spark a change process that will create a resilient and sustainable global food and agricultural system. Examples of such transitions are needed to garner the political support for agroecology. […] Two leading US scientists stress the health dangers of herbicides used with herbicide-resistant GM crops, calling for a thorough reconsideration of all aspects of the safety of plant biotechnology. […] Two leading US scientists stress the health dangers of herbicides used with herbicide-resistant GM crops, calling for a thorough reconsideration of all aspects of the safety of plant biotechnology. […] This paper recommends a proactive rights-based approach with agroecology as the framework to support small-scale, agriculturally biodiverse farming systems in order to secure local and global food security in this era of climate change. […] A new study has found significant negative chronic effects in Daphnia fed with GM insect-resistant maize leaves such as smaller body size, reduced growth and decreased fertility. […] Policy-makers are urged to use the technology justice framework and give priority to the promotion of agroecological practices, which are productive, inclusive and increase adaptive capacity to climate change.
