Two new studies provide evidence suggesting links between exposure to glyphosate, widely used in conjunction with GM herbicide-resistant crops, and increased risks of mortality and cancer in humans. […]

The American Chestnut Foundation has decided to withdraw its support for an experimental GE chestnut tree which has demonstrated growth and fertility problems and failure to resist blight. […] Experts have issued statements categorically opposing the European Commission’s proposal to deregulate plants produced with new genomic techniques (NGTs). […] The short-lived success of glyphosate for weed control in North American GE corn and soybean production systems serves as a cautionary tale. […] A risk assessment for an application to release salmon obtained from new genetic engineering techniques in an experiment in Norway had identified many risks, knowledge gaps and uncertainties. […] Europe’s agriculture ministers have challenged the Spanish presidency’s proposal to widely deregulate GMO plants made using new genomic techniques. […] GM Bt cotton is failing in India – and African countries should take note of this when considering whether to introduce it themselves, according to a new scientific paper. […] Governments are called to mobilise finance for the large-scale transitions needed towards climate-friendly food and farming, based on agroecology. […] Based on the US experience where few GMOs produced from new techniques have been commercialized, it is unlikely that Europe, even if it deregulates such GMOs, will avail itself of new products as promised by their backers. […] New genomic techniques (NGT) can cause unintended genetic changes, thereby carrying higher risks than earlier assumed. […] |
