These accounts attempt to give greater clarity to the genetic manipulation of plants in the light of current knowledge about the complexity of gene regulation and the uncertainties arising from this.
Many new aspects have emerged in this area of genetics in the last few years, but their overall effects have not yet been present in overview.
Against this background, Greenpeace has collaborated with the Institute for Applied Ecology in Freiburg (Germany) and Balueninstitut in Basel (Switzerland) in a project in which various leading scientists have been interviewed about this current findings and insights. The interviews, conducted by Florianne Koechlin, bring a new, unique collection of material making possible not only for experts, but also for a broader public, to understand why the technology of genetic manipulation on plants has so many uncertainties and risks attached to it.
