ET 9/97: Is a bioengineered potato organic?

Votes:0
Is a bioengineered potato organic? by Donella Meadows It's tempting for someone who has grown some carrots any old way to slap the label "organic" on them and get a higher price. Whenever there's real value around, someone will come up with a counterfeit. So farmers who raise their vegetables with the care that the word "organic" implies have been working on certification programs with strict rules about what is and is not organic. For example, my farm is certified organic by the state of New Hampshire. The inspector came to visit us just last week, toured our place, asked detailed questions about our soil-improvement plan, and made sure our fields haven't been touched by a chemical fertilizer or pesticide within the last three years. Some states have strict rules and r Read More

Genetically Engineered Food

Votes:0
Updated: 12 October 99 Genetic Engineering of our Food genetically engineered food is unnecessary, untested and unwanted * * * The biggest experiment in human history has begun, with us as the guinea pigs and the planets ecological system as the test site. The genetech industry wants it all kept quiet, as they push products onto the market with unprecedented speed to create a 'fait accompli' from which we can never return. Consumer opinion has been ignored and consumers have been treated with contempt, as if they were irrelevant. There will be no open discussion about it, they are arrogantly determined to push this technology on us whether we want it or not. Why? Because they see $billions in short term profits. What else? We want independent research whose starting point is the problems t Read More

CAMPAIGN TO BAN GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS Initiative zum Verbot genmanipulierter Nahrung Kampanj: F?rbjud genetiskt manipulerade livsmedel Campa?a para prohibir alimentos transg?nicos In March 1996 the European Parliament voted against full and complete labeling of genetic modified food. On April 3, 1996 the European Commission formally approved the import, storage and processing of Monsato's genetically modified soybeans, Roundup Ready, in the European Union. The soybeans will not be required to be labeled as they enter Europe. Soybeans are used in 60% of all processed foods, such as bread, pasta, candies, ice cream, pies, biscuits, margarine, meat products and vegetarian meat substitutes.

For more information regarding reproduction of this article, please click here. DAVID GREENBERG MARY GRAHAM Improving Communication About New Food Technologies Public confusion threatens to derail the marketing of new foods that can prevent or fight disease. The debate about genetically engineered crops provides an early warning signal that the U.S. public is apprehensive about the benefits and risks associated with new food technologies. It also indicates that the national regulatory system that is charged with ensuring clear communication about food health and safety has difficulty navigating these issues when technology is leaping ahead. Much more is at stake as manufacturers begin to produce foods that claim to prevent or fight specific diseases. Foods offering health benefits constitu Read More

1 October 1998 Benefits and risks of genetic modification in agriculture Mike Wilkinson, moderator for this, the first of the Nature Debates, surveys the terrains on which conflicting interests will do battle. MIKE WILKINSON Few things in science evoke stronger feelings than the commercial release of genetically modified crops. Views seem to have become polarised between those who advocate the benefits of the technology in a world with a rapidly expanding population and others who argue that the dangers transgenes pose to the natural environment are too poorly quantified to allow commercialization. Both viewpoints oversimplify what is a complex situation influenced by political, social and economic factors. Sovereign states vary considerably in terms of the progress they have made towards Read More
