A new report shows how transitioning from industrial to diversified organic and agroecological food and farming systems can produce enough food, reduce poverty and restore essential natural resources to feed the planet for generations to come. […] A growing body of academic research shows that the practice of “refuge-in-a-bag” may actually increase the risk of Bt resistance in above-ground insect pests. […] Conventional crop-breeding techniques are outpacing high-biotech efforts in a global race to develop crops that grow well in soils depleted of nutrients. […] This paper presents five essential features to advance scientifically and socially responsible forms of governance for existing and emerging agricultural biotechnologies. […] A study analysing the environmental and socio-economic sustainability of GM crops in Switzerland has found that, if introduced, they may not fit well with the specific dynamics of Swiss agrosystems. […] There is mounting evidence that the co-formulants listed as “inert ingredients” in glyphosate-based herbicides can be just as if not more toxic than glyphosate alone. […] A series of profiles on agroecology, published by the FAO, shares the experiences of producers and organizations working with agroecological systems around the world. […] A U.S. review of GM crops has found the need for greater public accountability regarding health and safety aspects. […] The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine has concluded that gene-drive modified organisms are not ready to be released into the environment pending further research on the scientific, ethical, regulatory, and social consequences.
