Study finds that “GM is neither the obvious way to increase yields nor is its introduction consistent with increasing agricultural biodiversity through cultivar diversity”. […] The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) states that due to insufficient data they are not able to reach a conclusion on the safety of genetically modified (GM) maize 3272. […] This review compares GE and agroecological solutions. It finds that GE crops do not address core agricultural ecological sustainability issues, while the agroecological approach should be the first priority for feeding the world in a sustainable way. […] This paper finds that the adoption of GM seed used in north American staple crop production are lowering yields and increasing pesticide use compared to western Europe, which is largely non-GM. […] Serious risk assessment challenges are posed by the current move to stacked GE crop varieties expressing multiple traits, coupled with the increased chemical use required by GE crops. […] The USDA will produce an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for GE crops resistant to the herbicides 2,4-D or dicamba. Critics maintain that even with the EIS, the USDA’s regulation of GE crops is extremely weak. […] In a long-term toxicology study, pigs feed a mixture of GM soy and GM corn had a heavier uterus and a higher level of severe inflammation in stomachs than non-GM-fed pigs. […] Consumer advocates and environmentalists highlight concerns over the US government’s pending approval of a genetically modified eucalyptus tree. […] The Union of Concerned Scientists says that agro-ecological farming or what it calls “healthy farms” are the way forward for sustainable food production and will be far better for the people, the environment and the economy.
