Researchers Rally for Rice Science at IRC2014 Section: News from Around the World Around 1,500 individuals from 69 countries are gathered for the 4th International Rice Congress (IRC2014) at the Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Centre (BITEC) in Thailand from October 27 to November 1, 2014. IRC is known as the "Olympics of rice science" because it is the largest gathering of individuals involved in rice science held every four years. This year's theme is "Rice for the World", focuses on the latest advances in rice research and technologies around the globe. Robert Zeigler, Director General of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), delivered the keynote message during the opening ceremony of the Congress. "There is already profound impact for several million farmers worldwide who have adopted one of the first technologies of the second Green Revolution—flood-tolerant rice...Many of these farmers belong to the poorest of the poor who, for various reasons, did not benefit fully from the first Green Revolution in rice," he said. He added that the third Green Revolution of rice will be sometime around 2030, when farmers will be planting more robust C4 and nitrogen-fixing rice varieties, and more nutritious rice are available in the market for consumption. He stressed that these would not be possible without the help of young rice scientists in the fields and laboratories.

MPs Promise Action towards Lifting Ban on GM Foods in Kenya Section: News from Around the World Nine Kenyan members of Parliament promised to take specific measures towards lifting the ban on importation of genetically modified (GM) foods that was instituted in November 2012. The MPs visited the Water Efficient Maize for Africa (WEMA) project's confined field trials site at KALRO Kiboko on October 9, 2014. They were briefed on ongoing efforts to develop water efficient maize with insect resistance trait. The legislators expressed their satisfaction with the experts' work towards food security. "We know that GM foods are safe for human consumption. Credible institutions have conducted trials on this and they have assured us of the safety," said Hon. Fred Outa. The MPs regretted that the technology is already available, yet people could not benefit from it as a result of the ban. "We are in the process of constituting a Parliamentary Select Committee, to independently gather information on GM food safety, and ultimately advise the House and the Cabinet to lift the ban" said Hon. Wilbur Otichilo. He lauded the scientists for having done their work in ensuring that the country has the technology and that it was now for the parliamentarians to work around the politics hindering the commercialization of the biotech crops for the benefit of poor farmers. The tour had been organized to create awareness on biotechnology among key parliamentarians from parliamentary committees on agriculture, education, environment and labor. The tour provided them with information on the research process of the WEMA drought tolerant maize varieties developed in Kenya. The tour was organized by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA), and the Open Forum on Agricultural Biotechnology in Africa (OFAB-Kenya). Hon. John Serut said that a lot more effort was required to sensitize especially the public about GM food safety. "Our people (electorates) have a lot of stigma on this technology, which needs to be removed by public education on GM foods," he said. (From left to right) Hon. Wilbur Otichilo, Hon. Cecilia Ng'etich, Hon. Florence Mutua and, Hon. John Serut during the field visit in Kiboko For more information on the tour, contact mkarembu@isaaa.org.

Key Stakeholders from PH Provinces Join Growing Support for Bt Eggplant Section: News from Around the World One hundred and sixty-six farmers, agriculture officers, technicians, researchers, and other stakeholders from the provinces of Laguna, Batangas, Quezon, and Camarines Sur signed a declaration of support for the commercial planting of the fruit and shoot borer resistant Bt eggplant during the second Public Dialogue on Bt Eggplant held at the Southeast Asian Regional Center for Graduate Study and Research in Agriculture (SEARCA), College, Los Baños, Laguna on October 21, 2014. The declaration carried the same statements from the first declaration signed by farmers and agriculture stakeholders in Pangasinan during the first public dialogue held on September 3. It expressed the signatories' acknowledgement of the Bt eggplant project's proper compliance to the right authorities; its potential benefits to the Filipino community; and their encouragement and support for safe agricultural technologies such as Bt eggplant, among others. The public dialogue briefed the participants on the Bt eggplant project background, status, regulatory compliance, and potential benefits, as well as the food and environmental safety of biotech crops. It also presented a study on insecticide residues in eggplant farms in Pangasinan. Academician and former UPLB Chancellor Dr. Emil Javier also gave his message of support to Bt eggplant, emphasizing that as a public sector product, Bt eggplant is the first "Pinoy" GMO and will be an advantage to local agriculture if commercialized. The public dialogue was organized by SEARCA, ISAAA, and University of the Philippines Los Baños-Institute of Plant Breeding (UPLB-IPB).
