Why new genetic techniques need to be stringently regulated – study LATEST VIDEOS Why new genetic techniques need to be stringently regulated – study Details 1. Why new genetic techniques need to be stringently regulated – comment on new study 2. Differentiated impacts of human interventions on nature: Scaling the conversation on regulation of gene technologies – new study abstract - Third World Network Biosafety Information Service, 4 Apr 2021 Worldwide, governments are under pressure from the biotechnology and agrichemical industries to deregulate products developed using the so-called “new” genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing and gene silencing. A new paper describes how many of the new techniques are not new to science, but because of technical developments can now be applied to more species in less time and for more kinds of traits. ....
US wants technical cooperation with FSSAI April 06, 2021 In August last year, the FSSAI published an order specifying that every consignment of 24 identified food products needs to be accompanied by a non-GM-origin-cum-GM-free certificate - Motortion In August last year, the FSSAI published an order specifying that every consignment of 24 identified food products needs to be accompanied by a non-GM-origin-cum-GM-free certificate - Motortion× In submission to WTO, says India should withdraw, defer order till ‘less burdensome’ alternatives are found The US wants to engage in technical cooperation with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to develop alternatives to the ‘non-GM (genetically modified) origin and GM free certificates’ that have been mandated by India for certain agricultural imports. It has sought withdrawal of the order or a delay in its implementation till “less burdensome’’ alternatives could be discu ....
Small changes made with gene editing cause severe deformities in plants LATEST VIDEOS Small changes made with gene editing cause severe deformities in plants Details New study points to unintended effects of gene editing in plants and potential negative effects on ecosystems Gene editing causes drastic unwanted effects in gene-edited plants including severe deformities, a new scientific publication in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe shows. This is the case even when the changes are intended by the gene editor to be small tweaks to existing genes rather than, for example, the introduction of new genetic material. More broadly, the study provides an overview of the negative effects on ecosystems that can result from the release of gene-edited plants. These unintended effects result from the intended changes induced by genome editing, which can affect various metabolic processes in the plants. ....
[links to sources at this URL] Planning documents for the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit shed new light on the agenda behind the controversial food summit that hundreds of farmers’ and human rights groups are boycotting. The groups say agribusiness interests and elite foundations are dominating the process to push through an agenda that would enable the exploitation of global food systems, and especially Africa. The documents, including a background paper prepared for summit dialogues and a draft policy brief for the summit, bring into focus “plans for the massive industrialization of Africa’s food systems,” said Mariam Mayet, executive director of the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), who provided the documents to U.S. Right to Know. ....
The future of organic farming in Europe: How the new Regulation tightens the rules New rules on organic farming and production in the EU are set to come into effect at the beginning of 2022. In the first in a series of articles examining the update, legal experts Katia Merten-Lentz, partner at international law firm Keller and Heckman, and Caroline Commandeur, Associate at the same firm, weigh what these new measures will mean for the future of organic food in the bloc. In line with the growing demand for products derived from natural substances and processes, the EU organic sector increased by 70% in the last ten years. Data from the European Commission shows organic retail sales reached EUR34bn in 2017. ....
