[…] An open letter from individuals and organizations representing 57 million Americans warns of the risks of GM crops, drawing from the two decades of experience in the US. […] An investigation into GM field trials in the U.S. reveals the vast extent of outdoor experimentation and a troubling trend of violations, mistakes and risks of contamination which has received inadequate attention from the regulatory authorities. […] The USDA has released its latest review of the first generation of genetically engineered crops in the U.S., finding both benefits and problems for farmers. […] 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. […] 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.
