This study analyses the potential risks of new genomic techniques (NGT) and concludes that the associated unintended impacts urgently necessitate a uniform, robust risk assessment of all NGT plants. […] 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. […] |
