A new report by the ETC Group exposes how six multinational biotechnology companies control agriculture research globally, and what they seek to do to placate anti-trust regulators and soften opposition to GMOs. […] An Al Jazeera report tells the tragic story of Argentina’s commodities-driven export boom, built largely on genetically-modified soya bean crops and the aggressive use of pesticides. […] A recent study by the Environment Agency of Austria discusses the socio-economic aspects of the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). […] A new report on GM salmon scrutinises the US FDA’s problematic assessment process and also finds that the GM salmon poses serious risks to consumer health, animal welfare, fishing economies and the environment.

[…] An independent assessment of data presented to the Indian authorities, for biosafety tests prior to commercial approval of Monsanto’s GM maize MON89034 x NK 603, finds the data severely lacking. […] A recent article published in PLOS Biology Journal examines the problems with the current practices and the indiscriminate uses of confidential business information (CBI) claims in biosafety assessments. […] A paper highlighting how regulators have not assessed the safety of GM plants that may produce new double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules, as well as for products where the active ingredient is dsRNA. […] This article argues that GM drought tolerant crops may only have limited value in meeting the challenges of climate change. Instead, conventional breeding and ecological agriculture approaches can provide ready solutions. […] |
