UN Meeting on the Safe Use of LMOs Opens in South Korea Section: News from Around the World The 7th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, which also serves as the meeting of the Parties to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (COM-MOP7), opened on September 29, 2014 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Participants of the 5-day meeting include representatives from government, civil society, and industry. One of the objectives of the meeting is to adopt further decisions to ensure safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs). It will also advance the implementation of the Cartagena Protocol through the Strategic Plan for the Cartagena Protocol (2011-2020). The delegates will also discuss issues relating to the financial mechanism and resources for the implementation of Cartagena Protocol, the Nagoya – Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol; risk assessment and risk management; socio-economic considerations concerning LMOs; assessment and the review of the effectiveness of the Cartagena Protocol.

UN FAO Chief: World Needs 'Paradigm Shift' Towards Sustainable Agriculture Section: News from Around the World United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN-FAO) Director General José Graziano da Silva is urging support for science-based options to attain global food security. Speaking at the opening of the 24th session of the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) in Rome, da Silva called for a 'paradigm shift' in global attitudes on agriculture, adding that only by decreasing the amounts of agricultural inputs, such as water and chemicals, could the sector move towards a more sustainable and productive long-term path. He said that options including agro-ecology, climate-smart agriculture, biotechnology and the use of genetically modified organisms, would help meet the expected demand from an anticipated world population of nine billion by 2050. According to da Silva, the previous input-intensive model cannot be used anymore as the solutions of the past have shown their limits. "We need to explore these alternatives using an inclusive approach based on science and evidence, not on ideologies," he added.

No Sign of Health or Nutrition Problems from GMO Livestock Feed, Study Finds Section: News from Around the World A scientific review article titled "Prevalence and Impacts of Genetically Engineered Feedstuffs on Livestock Population" shows the impact of GM crops as a feed component for animals. This review study is led by Alison Van Eennaam and Amy Young, animal scientists from the University of California, Davis. The article summarizes the influence of GM crops used as a feed component in the performance and health of animals consuming it from its first introduction in year 1996 up to 2013. Their study also involved examining the livestock feeding studies over 30 years and encompasses about 100 billion animals. Their findings show that GM feeds did not affect the health and productivity of livestock animals. The products of animals fed with GM feeds showed the same nutritional component as the products of animals fed with non-GM feeds.

Australian Scientist Fine-tunes Plant Cells to Produce Superior Cereal Crops Section: News from Around the World University of Adelaide research scientist Matthew Tucker is changing the developmental path of grain in cereal crops to better influence yield and quality. Tucker will be taking advantage of plant cells' ability to change identity as the plant develops, to determine how to create cereal grains that are healthier to eat and produces more yield. Tucker said, "I'm trying to identify the pathways that drive cells to become different. We'll be looking to identify natural variants in these pathways that can be used to purposely change cell types in the developing cereal grain."  A potential outcome of Tucker's work could be increased antioxidant levels in wholegrain or wholemeal flour. He added that there is tremendous potential to bring the healthy compound-making ability to cereals, which would also help develop a sustainable way of growing healthier foods.

30 September 2014 In this issue Opinion, by Juliette Braslow News and research updates From the regions New publications and scientific articles Photo that tells a story Do not miss Explore OPINION Time to break free from the ‘yield gap trap’   CIATs new strategic initiative to reduce yield gaps for sustainable intensification of agriculture is kicking-off by stepping back and asking some vital questions to help us rethink yield gaps and consider socio-economic constraints and whole system productivity.  Who wants to close the gap and why? Specifically whose yield gap do we want to address? Are we asking the right questions to the right people? Do we have the idea of “closing” the gap and limiting the discussion to a “yield” gap all wrong? Read more

UN awards "big data" project CIAT scientists wielding big data tools to blunt the impacts of climate change on Latin America’s rice production have been named one of two winners of the Big Data Climate Challenge, awarded at the United Nations Climate Summit that took place on 23 September in New York City. The other winner is the World Resource Institute’s Global Forest Watch.   Read more Haiti: Pathways to adaptation There is broad consensus that climate change is having serious effects on agricultural production in Haiti. Now is the time to take strategic measures to avoid immediate and future economic losses, and detrimental social and environmental impacts. By bringing together key stakeholders, CRS seeks to initiate a dialogue aimed at promptly adapting the country’s agricultural sector. Read more Saving the ugly cousins “Crop wild relatives are like the ‘ugly cousins’ of the crops as we know them, with differentiating traits useful for agriculture”. Understanding them is important for agriculture as these species can have characteristics useful for improving the crops that we depend upon, especially under challenging conditions including climate change and reduced availability of inputs like water and fertilizers.
