GMO Catastrophe in the USA. A Lesson for the World? |
|
|
|
Monday, 30 August 2010 |
 Recently the unelected potentates of the EU Commission in Brussels have sought to override what has repeatedly been shown to be the overwhelming opposition of the European Union population to the spread of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) in EU agriculture. As well, the Chinese government has indicated it may approve a variety of GMO rice. Before things get too far along, they would do well to take a closer look at the world GMO test lab, the USA. There GMO crops are anything but beneficial. Just the opposite, writes William Engdahl on Globalresearch.ca . |

Dutch debate on patenting and breeders' rights not finished |
|
|
|
Friday, 16 July 2010 |
|
(By organic chain organisation Biologica) On June 30, 2010, the Dutch parliament discussed the report "Veredelde zaken". This report focuses on two protection methods for intellectual property used in the plant breeding sector, patenting and breeders' rights (see below). The report shows that patent law not only limits access to genetic resources but also to the market and hence increase power concentrations in the breeding sector. This restricts innovations in plant breeding and supply of (new) varieties and thus constitutes a direct threat to food security. |
