This briefing discusses what Parties to the CBD and the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety can do in order to advance the work on risk assessment of synthetic biology at the upcoming UN Biodiversity Conference in Cancún, Mexico. […] This briefing discusses unintentional transboundary movement and emergency measures, as well as the related issues of detection and identification of LMOs, making recommendations for what Parties can do at COP-MOP8 on these issues. […] This Biosafety Briefing examines the biosafety aspects of genome-editing techniques, including the CRISPR system. […] Synthetic biology is transforming access to genetic resources. This paper explains the implications of genetic sequence data and calls on Parties to the CBD to take action to ensure that benefit-sharing is not undermined. […] The Right to Food and Nutrition Watch 2016 warns that seeds and biodiversity are under threat as a result of increasing corporate capture and States’ neglect. […] This monograph documents the adverse human health and environmental impacts of glyphosate, whose use has gone up with the advent of glyphosate-tolerant GM crops, necessitating the call for a global phase-out of the world’s most widely used herbicide. […] Six US entomologists have written an open letter to seed companies asking them to change their marketing claims and label language to reflect the widespread failure of Cry1F (Herculex I) trait in controlling the western bean cutworm. […] A journal paper discusses how wholesome food production methods such as agroecology can become mainstream instead of alternative by acquiring their own “thick legitimacy” to supplant that of industrial food systems. […] As weeds develop resistance to glyphosate, GM crops resistant to the 2,4-D and dicamba are poised to enter the market. However, these herbicides and the formulations containing them can cause lethal and sublethal effects on beneficial insects. […] |
