This side-event gives an updated overview of the many DNA based technologies currently in use or development. We will present the different technologies, including the new breeding and genome editing technologies and ask which of these are captured by the LMO definition, what is covered by risk ...
We would like to discuss developments in GMO Risk Assessment and would like to highlight legal and scientific backgrounds, advancing risk assessment under the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety as well as Socioeconomic Considerations in GMO Decision Making.
CropLife International and its members have made their detection methods for commercialized biotech-derived products — and related materials and information — available in an online and searchable database. A representative will present the website and share with participants CropLife member vi ...
In 2011, The world’s population reached 7 billion people, and by 2050 it will surpass 9 billion. This means farmers will need to produce 70% more food on less land than ever before. Crop protection products and plant biotechnology can improve yields to help farmers meet this goal. Biotech crops ...
This side event will explore our efforts to deal with GMO contamination in our respective countries. We will expose evidence of imported canola that is resistant to Roundup Ready and Basta, growing wild near harbors and along roads to food oil factories. Unless import of GMOs is stopped, testing ...
The event will discuss the possibilities of accessing post-patents' data for genetically modified traits in crop biotechnology and the approaches that interested parties could use to ensure proper stewardship. This is particularly important for developing countries and public sector researchers ...
Introduce the lives of small farmers who try to protect the sovereignty of seeds and exhibit more than 100 indigenous crop species.
A panel of government, NGO and scientific experts will discuss the key issues that COPMOP7 can decide on to effectively implement the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. The focus will include risk assessment, socio-economic considerations, Article 18 and unintentional transboundary movements.
We would like to discuss the problems of corporate research on decision making along examples and would like to address independent biosafety research and its results.
