Take a closer look at the questions surrounding the long-term
impact of GE crops Genetically Engineered Crops examines current
controversies surrounding the potential health, environmental, and
social impacts of plants produced using molecular biology
techniques. Educators, professionals, and practitioners
representing a wide range of disciplines, including plant
biotechnology, environmental health risk assessment, law, food
safety assessment, and bio safety, address the uncertainties of the
science, biological risks, national and international governance
issues in North and South America, Europe, and Africa, and the need
for full public understanding of genetically engineered crops.
Proper regulation of food requires a broad understanding of the
science and of varying public perceptions of the technology that
will lead to effective governance. Genetically Engineered Crops
examines ecological, health, and environmental concerns about crop
genetic engineering, the need for precaution, biosafety, and
liability, and the challenges faced in meeting the public's demands
for proper understanding of the risks involved. With no worldwide
framework for regulation in place and public concern about food
safety growing, this vital book takes a closer look at the
long-term impact of GE crops and their place in the future of
agriculture. Genetically Engineered Crops examines: the laboratory
hazards of gene splicing environmental releases of GEOs the loss of
agrobiodiversity the ecological effects of HRCs ecological and
environmental risk assessment of GE crops human health implications
of GE foods allergenicity and toxicity the precautionary principle
international trade and regulatory harm smart regulations in Canada
shortcomings in risk assessment liability and compensation and much
more Genetically Engineered Crops is a vital reference resource for
anyone working in the plant and crop sciences, the social sciences,
national and international bioregulation, environmental law, and
agribusiness.
