The current chemical-intensive mode of agriculture is polluting the environment, producing contaminated food, ravaging farmers’ livelihoods and undermining food security. On the other hand, ecological agriculture is critical to feeding the world, protecting human health and the environment and safeguarding farmers’ livelihoods, especially in a time of climate change.

Genetic engineering is far more complex than we know

Genetic Engineering

Gene expression is far more complex than the crude method of inserting a gene from organism A to organism B. Minute differences in the way target genes are expressed (i.e., put into use) may alter the growth and development of receptor organisms. These small but critical differences may subsequently pose a threat to human health and environment. A growing body of scientific research is revealing the various health and environmental unintended effects of genetic engineering.
