A scientific study has found that goats fed with genetically engineered soybean had 40% less immune substance in their milk, resulting in significant reductions in the weight of their offspring. […] Climate-resilient farming communities can be built by tapping the rich repository of traditional farming systems which practice effective agroecological strategies and have strong social networks. […] This report identifies knowledge gaps relating to new plant breeding techniques. Current biosafety regulations are a good base, but insufficient in themselves, to address uncertainties, so further research before commercialisation is recommended. […] Fieldwork in Malawi and Kenya has shown that small-scale farmers practising ecological farming with no chemical pesticides or fertilisers can get far better yields and incomes than those using chemicals. […] This report examines whether GM crops are better for the environment and presents evidence that they can cause serious adverse environmental impacts. […] In light of the IARC’s classification of glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans”, the Center for Food Safety explains why the IARC’s decision is scientifically sound and warns of the risks. […] This article offers agroecology as the ideal solution to fix our broken food system; one which embraces complexity and change, develops the capacity to listen, to grow new connections, and to build solidarity among animals, plants and people. […] This report recommends seven principles to be the focus of the changes we need to make to transform our current broken food system into an ecological and resilient one. […] This new report argues that the GM cowpea push in Burkina Faso, Nigeria and Ghana coincides with a strong interest from multinational and local seed companies to produce foundation and certified seed in West Africa.
