A peer-reviewed paper draws attention to potential hazards on nontarget species of pesticides and GMOs made with RNAi gene-silencing techniques and suggests that current toxicity testing is inadequate to assess the safety of these new technologies. […] In his final report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the right to food has called for the world’s food systems to be radically and democratically redesigned. […] An article in The Ecologist exposes the tangled web of unanswered questions around Golden Rice, especially the full implications of the terms of ‘humanitarian use’ which receiving countries would be wise to consider carefully before availing themselves of […] A new study analyzes scientific reports on GM crop transgenes spreading into the environment. It highlights the significant uncertainties associated with such occurrences and calls for stringent regulation to contain and reduce them. […] This discussion paper provides key evidence and recommendations on how to scale up agroecology to become the world’s dominant agricultural system, which will ensure food security and environmental sustainability. […] In a bid to address the problem of weeds resistant to glyphosate, the biotech industry is introducing crops genetically engineered to resist 2,4-D. This report details the risks and calls for a stop to the expansion of herbicide-resistant crops. […] This discussion paper explains why agroecology has to be the underlying paradigm for sustainable food production and provides clear recommendations for changes in policy, research and practice. […] This report examines future developments in agro-biotechnology and genetic engineering and warns, with supporting evidence, that these technologies are complex, failure-prone and linked to uncertainties and risks. […] A first meta-analysis of some of the data on GE maize 1507 submitted by industry to regulatory authorities reveals huge variations in the amounts of Bt toxin in the plants, making a reliable environmental risk assessment difficult, if not impossible.
