Crop Biotech Update

August 13, 2014

Environmental Lawyer Tackles Critical Legal Issues in Devt of Biotech Crops Section: News from Around the World Important issues in the current debate on biotech crops were discussed in the SEARCA Agriculture and Development Seminar Series (ADSS) "Critical Legal Issues Surrounding Biotechnology and Biosafety" by Atty. Gregory Jaffe, Director of the Biotechnology Project of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in Washington DC, USA, on 25 July 2014. Genetic engineering, he said, "allows scientists to move beneficial traits from one organism to another in a precise way." He also said that the safety and benefits of the technology is well-documented, and that in terms of food safety, conclusions from renowned international organizations show that food products of biotech are generally safe. Atty. Jaffe cited the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, stating that the said international agreement is a good starting point in establishing a national biosafety regulatory system because "it has a precautionary approach but its goal is to effectuate trade among countries of safe LMOs (living modified organisms)." He said that the "hot topics" critical in the development of biotech crops are: liability and redress; socio-economic considerations; labeling; and development of resistant weeds. Atty. Jaffe also emphasized the importance of assessing products or technologies on a case-by-case basis and highlighted the critical role of functional biosafety regulatory systems in allowing safe products to be marketed. The seminar was co-organized by SEARCA Biotechnology Information Center, the Program for Biosafety Systems and the National Institute of Molecular Biology and,Biotechnology-UPLB. For more information about developments in biotechnology in the Philippines or in Southeast Asia, visit SEARCA BIC's website at http://www.bic.searca.org/ or send an e-mail to bic@agri.searca.org.

Scientists Develop Glowing Plants for Homes and Streets Section: News from Around the World Scientists are now developing a glow-in-the-dark plant using synthetic biology. The Glowing Plant project aims to develop functional plants for homes that could repel insects or work as air fresheners. The inspiration behind the original glowing plant was to rethink street or nighttime lighting. The developers of the bioluminescent plant said that they do not focus on developing GM foods, which has enough controversies. "We really see our plants as a tool for changing that debate. With food, the risk of unintended consequences is much larger. We just want to build fun, cool products," said Antony Evans, founder and CEO of Glowing Plant. The company is now getting pre-orders of the Glowing Plant which is expected to be released later this year.

USDA Releases Final EIS for HT Corn and Soybean Section: News from Around the World The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) released the final environmental impact statement (EIS) for corn and soybean plant resistant to herbicide 2,4-D. The draft EIS was released for comments in January and has received 10,140 responses. APHIS meticulously reviewed and analyzed the submitted comments and addressed them in the final EIS which affirms APHIS' preferred alternative to fully deregulate these new GE crops. This is also consistent with APHIS' final plant pest risk assessment (PPRA) that found 2,4-D resistant corn and soybeans are unlikely to pose a plant pest risk to agricultural crops or other plants in the U.S. ...[READ MORE]
