Following the announcement that unapproved GE wheat plants were found in a farm in Oregon, there has been a growing demand for answers on how this could have happened and strong critique on the (in)adequacy of control over field trials of GE crops. […] The FAO book Organic Agriculture: African Experiences in Resilience and Sustainability documents sustainability experiences, including in mainstreaming organic agriculture into African development approaches. […] Recent research shows that the pyramid strategy (developed to deal with insect resistance to Bt crops) of genetically engineering crops to produce two or more toxins that kill the same pest, may not work.

[…] A peer-reviewed article on the health hazards of genetically modified foods tackles the hard issues concerning the safety of GM foods. […] An extensive compilation of scientific papers documents the evidence available on GM crops and foods, pointing to several problems and the need for further, detailed investigations. […] This article illustrates the importance of agrobiodiversity for feeding the world, which is under threat by GM crops. […] |
