This analysis warns that linking retention of smallpox virus to vague biotechnology-related “threats” may open the Pandora’s Box of genetic engineering of smallpox. […]

TWN submission on unintentional transboundary movements of LMOs highlights important considerations for determining the scope and elements of possible guidance or tools that may facilitate appropriate responses by Parties to the Biosafety Protocol. […] GM crops engineered to be resistant to herbicides pose a threat to the right to food. The herbicides used in conjunction with these crops also have health impacts that need to be evaluated in parallel. […] Levels of Roundup so high that even Monsanto calls them “extreme” now appear to be the norm for GM soybeans, recent research shows. […] Research has demonstrated that Roundup Ready GM-soy may accumulate high residue levels of glyphosate and its breakdown product. It also showed that different agricultural practices may result in a markedly different nutritional composition of soybeans. […] A paper published in the journal Proteome Science field, has shown molecular differences between genetically modified MON810 maize hybrids and their non-GM counterparts. […] A first-ever testing of glyphosate in the breast milk of American mothers has found ‘high’ levels in 3 out of 10 samples, raising concerns that the herbicide, widely used with GM herbicide resistant crops, can accumulate in the human body. […] Environmental and civil society groups warn the Brazilian regulator of GMOs, CTNBio, not to approve commercial releases of GM mosquitoes in Brazil without full public consultation, access to conclusive field trials data and a post release monitoring plan. […] This briefing calls for a precautionary approach to synthetic biology and recommends that CBD Parties establish a moratorium on the environmental and commercial release of Synthetically Modified Organisms and assess their livelihood implications. […] Seed diversity plays a critical role in ensuring farms are resilient to the impacts of climate change. […] |
