A new study has shown for the first time that endocrine disruption by glyphosate-based herbicides can not only be due to the declared active ingredient (glyphosate), but also to co-formulants used in the formulations. […]

Co-Formulants in Glyphosate-Based Herbicides Demonstrate Endocrine-Disrupting Effects on Human CellsR&D on the genetic modification of traditional crops is underway in seven African countries. This report explains how these projects are diverting resources, policies and practices, away from implementing real solutions to hunger and malnutrition. […] This article, written by an entomologist and mosquito vector control expert, argues why genetic modification of mosquitoes is no answer to mosquito-borne diseases. […] In 2015, the Philippine Supreme Court permanently stopped the field testing of Bt eggplant in the country, citing inadequacies in the risk assessment and public consultation processes and invoking the Precautionary Principle. […] Creating healthy and sustainable food systems is key to overcoming hunger and all forms of malnutrition (undernourishment, micro-nutrient deficiencies, obesity) around the world. […] Mexico’s chinampas system preserves agricultural biodiversity, helps farmers adapt to climate change, bolsters food security and reduces poverty. Its agroecological features could be the foundation for the design of resilient agricultural systems. […] A new meta-analysis has found that organic meat and animal products are significantly more nutritious than non-organic for several composition parameters including Omega-3 content. […] Scientists have published a Statement of Concern on glyphosate, calling for urgent epidemiological studies, biomonitoring and toxicology studies with a focus on endocrine disruption, carcinogenicity and multigenerational effects. […] A new study confirms that glyphosate is the world’s most widely used herbicide in history, largely driven by the expansion of GE herbicide-tolerant crops. Quantifying the ecological and health impacts of this widespread use is thus increasingly urgent. […] This report gives an overview of cases of uncontrolled spread and/or gene flow from genetically engineered organisms that can enable them to become established, persist and propagate in the environment, independently of their intended usage.
