His first days in office indicate that President Trump intends to implement what he promised, with serious consequences for the future of the UN, trade, the environment and international cooperation, and developing countries will be most affected. […] This paper makes a compelling case that it is an Agroecological Revolution, with small-scale farmers at the centre, that will feed Africa rather than a corporate-driven Green Revolution with GM crops. […] This review discusses the factors that should be considered in the assessment of the risks of GM plants to soil microorganisms, the limitations of current research methods, and the prospects for better biosafety assessment. […] Call for a review of risk assessment methods for GM crops and glyphosate-based herbicides based on new studies which employed the latest ‘omics’ techniques to disprove earlier claims of safety. […] Cutting-edge molecular profiling analyses reveal that the herbicide Roundup (glyphosate) caused non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats at doses thousands of times below what is permitted by regulators worldwide. […] A new study disproves claims that a GM Roundup-tolerant maize is ‘substantially equivalent’ to its non-GM counterpart, highlighting the need for a more thorough evaluation of the safety of consuming products derived from this GM maize on a long-term basis […] The first map of smallholder farms in developing countries shows that more than 380 million small farms produce more than half the world’s food calories. […] A new study has found field-evolved resistance in a major corn pest to multiple Bt toxins in the U.S, showing up the failings of Bt crops. […] A study has found that 40% of studies on the efficacy or durability of GM Bt crops display conflicts of interest, which was associated with higher frequency of outcomes favorable to the interests of the GM crop company.
