Crop Biotech Update
August 20, 2014
The American Soybean Association has teamed up with the Illinois Soybean Association (ISA) to organize a forum that aims to communicate the need for a quicker and more science-based process for biotech crop approval.
The event, held in Washington, D.C., last week, was attended by more than 100 farmers, researchers and agricultural group leaders. "It is critical that agriculture let policymakers and regulators in Washington know how much farmers need biotechnology to sustainably produce food for the world's population," soybean grower and ISA chairman Bill Raben said.
The highlight of the event was the talk of Robert Paalberg, a public policy professor at Harvard University and an adviser to different food and agriculture organizations worldwide. He stressed that the state of worldwide regulation deprives people of food by preventing use of biotechnology by farmers in poorer countries who are growing more food crops.

Alan Lacey, new chairman of the Society of Food Hygiene and Technology (SOFHT) said in a recent interview that genetically modified (GM) foods should not be scary, and that the benefits of GM foods outweighed the arguments against it.
"It shouldn't be scary, there's got to be an illustration of the benefits of GM to consumers. Consumers want the choice and they want the power to buy what they want to buy." He added that GM food offered consumers and food manufacturers many benefits including shelf life, taste, and nutrition... [READ MORE]
Genetic editing of fruits and other crops could be the way to go in biotech progress, that is according to an article published in Trends in Biotechnology on August 13, 2014.
According to Chidananda Nagamangala Kanchiswamy of Agrario San Michele in Italy, one of the authors of the article, genetically edited organisms (GEOs) do not have inserted genes from other organisms. Thus, these can be considered as another form of genetic modification. Changes in the genes can be employed by applying small genetic tweaks ... [READ MORE]
