[…] This article finds that Bt maize in South Africa has minimally benefitted small farmers and recommends instead the development of cheaper non-GM stress-tolerant maize varieties better suited to small-farm agroecology to ensure improved food security. […] Environmental Scientists Find Antibiotics, Bacteria, Resistance Genes in Feedlot Dust February 11th, 2015 | Category: Biosafety Science A scientific review of ‘New Plant Breeding Techniques’ recommends that they be subject to a biosafety risk assessment framework developed according to their specific characteristics. […] Item 1 NEW PLANT BREEDING TECHNIQUES AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR APPLICATION Michael Ecker […] |
