This TWN briefing note on smallpox for the WHO Executive Board meeting (January 2013) argues that it would be important to begin the process of preparation for fixing a destruction date for the remaining virus stocks now, in order to adopt a resolution to that effect at the 67th WHA. […] A scientific paper published in late 2012 shows that US and EU GMO regulators have for many years been inadvertently approving transgenic events containing an unsuspected viral gene, which may have potential adverse impacts. […] Small farmers around the world are dramatically boosting their productivity and yields across a range of crops, by adopting a system called SCI (System of Crop Intensification). […] Investing in agroecological approaches can be highly effective in boosting production, incomes, food security and resilience to climate change, and empowering communities. […] A call for major new investment and support to scale-up smallholder-focused agro-ecology and ecological agriculture to help tackle poverty, hunger and climate change. […] Reply to critics of the study on long term toxicity of NK603 highlights the need for long term health risk assessments of GMOs. […] A recently published paper sets out a framework for a European network for a systematic environmental impact assessment of GMOs. […] Key issues and the potential implications that approval of GM maize in Mexico may have for food security, agricultural biodiversity and the right to food. […] African civil society is calling on the African Union to ban GM crops because of the dire lack of independent, long term safety data. […] |
