This TWN Biosafety Briefing identifies the sources of health risks that can potentially arise from GM foods as well as presents the increasing body of evidence that shows the disruptive effect of the GM transformation process and clear signs of toxicity i […] Study finds Argentina’s soy boom model socially and ecologically unsustainable and urgently calls for broader analytical frameworks for assessment of new agrarian technologies which encompass social and environmental considerations. […] This paper argues that agroecologically managed systems are best placed to cope with future challenges because they exhibit high levels of diversity and resilience while delivering reasonable yields and ecosystem functions. […] This TWN Biosafety Briefing provides some insights on the basic questions of what, why, when and how to include socio-economic considerations in GMO decision-making. […] This TWN Biosafety Briefing provides some insights on the basic questions of what, why, when and how to include socio-economic considerations in GMO decision-making. […] Two reports illustrate the overwhelming extent of corporate control over food and agriculture and provide evidence to show the inability of this dominant industrial model to feed a world in (climate) crisis. […] The UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food explores how agroecology can result in modes of production that are more resilient, highly productive and sustainable, contributing to poverty alleviation and the realization of the right to food. […] This TWN Biosafety Briefing evaluates the impact of genetic engineering in the US on three important challenges to agriculture: increasing food productivity, increasing nitrogen use efficiency, and increasing drought tolerance. […] A Philippines study on the socio-economic impacts of GM corn cultivation has found evidence of increased farmer debt and impoverishment, highlighting the urgent need for socio-economic considerations to play an integral role in proper biosafety assessment […] |
