There is urgent need to democratise the development of new genetic technologies such as gene drives, and to continue to demand that proponents of experimental releases are obliged to obtain free, prior and informed consent. […] Agroecological farms, as demonstrated by empirical evidence from Europe, can offer more sustainable production of healthier food, and re-enlarge productive agricultural (and related) employment, increasing the total income generated by the agricultural sector. […] Antibiotic-resistant genes that have been inserted into GM crops, which are then consumed as food, are more persistent than previously thought; they are able to withstand wastewater treatment and are taken up by bacteria in the sludge. […] Gene drives proposed for conservation purposes pose serious threats because their implementation could have far-reaching unintended consequences and could trigger irremediable modification of the natural environment. […] There is an urgent need for effective international and legally binding regulation of gene drive organisms (GDOs). […] Biosafety briefing_gene drives key elements_FRENCH Biosafety briefing_gene drives summary_FRENCH Governments need to tackle agricultural emissions head on by redirecting public funds away from ‘Big Ag’, strengthening regulations and transitioning farming to agroecology. […] New GE techniques such as genome editing and new delivery techniques have facilitated an emerging trend to genetically engineer organisms in the wild, essentially converting the environment into the laboratory.
