Crop Biotech Update

November 5, 2014

A Meta-analysis of the Impacts of Biotech Crops Section: News from Around the World Despite the rapid adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops by farmers in many countries, controversies about this technology continue. Uncertainty about GM crop impacts is one reason for widespread public suspicion. Wilhelm Klümper and Matin Qaim from the University of Goettingen (Germany) have carried out a meta-analysis of the agronomic and economic impacts of GM crops to consolidate the evidences. The analysis covers 147 original studies that were carried out internationally over the last 20 years. On average, GM technology adoption has reduced chemical pesticide use by 37%, increased crop yields by 22%, and increased farmer profits by 68%. Yield gains and pesticide reductions are larger for insect resistant crops than for herbicide tolerant crops. Yield and profit gains are higher in developing countries than in developed countries. The meta-analysis reveals robust evidence of GM crop benefits. Such evidence may help to gradually increase public trust in this technology. The results were published recently in PLOS ONE. The open access article can be downloaded at: http://dx.plos.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0111629. Europe's Leading Plant Scientists Call to Stop Blocking GM Trials Section: News from Around the World More than 20 of Europe's most prominent plant scientists signed a joint letter warning that Europe may lose its research lead unless plant science is adequately funded. The most influential plant scientists from Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, and Sweden are concerned that European basic and applied plant science may be relegated to a second tier status. The signatories are concerned that Europe may fall short on its current 'Horizon 2020' goals of producing "world-class science" and removing "barriers to innovation" unless European policymakers take a more pro-science stance. The scientists state that the current EU "de facto moratorium on transgenic plant approvals has been detrimental for applied plant science and has effectively eliminated possibilities for publicly funded scientists and small companies to address the big challenges for society." The open letter calls for a fundamental revision of GM regulation, and warns that "in most European countries permits to perform field experiments with transgenic plants are blocked, not on scientific but on political grounds," and that where field experiments are permitted "these are often systematically vandalized, causing huge scientific and financial losses," hampering scientific efforts to tackle agricultural pests and respond to climate change. They reveal that "some of us have even been threatened and had private property vandalized." The open letter is available at: http://www.umu.se/digitalAssets/151/151958_open-letter-to-decision-makers-in-europe.pdf. For more details, read the news release at: http://www.umu.se/english/about-umu/news-events/news/newsdetailpage/europes-leading-plant-scientists-call-for-urgent-action-to-defend-research.cid242017. BBSRC Scientists Recommend Trait-based Assessment of Biotech Crops Section: News from Around the World The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) released a position statement on new techniques on genetic improvement of crops together with GM regulations that can be adopted by the EU. BBSRC recommends trait-based system in assessment of GM crops, instead of focusing on the techniques used in the transformation because the boundaries between established genetic modification (GM) and non-GM techniques will become increasingly blurred as techniques develop. BBSRC also urged policy makers to be knowledgeable about the costs of not introducing proper regulatory processes.

MPs Visit Biotech Cotton Field in Ghana Section: News from Around the World Ghanaian Members of the Parliament of select committees on food and agriculture and environment and trade visited the Bt cotton confined trial site at Nyankpala in North Ghana to be familiar with biotechnology. The Bt cotton trials is part of Savanna Agricultural Research Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR-SARI) project on the introduction of GMOs and biotechnology products in Ghana. According to Dr. Ahmed Yakubu Alhassan, Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture (MOFA) in-charge of Crops, scientific evolution had come to stay and the country could not afford to be left behind. He also said that genetic modification would not replace conventional techniques in agricultural production because farmers can still choose the best system that works for them. On the other hand, Dr. Emmanuel Chamba of CSIR-SARI urged the government to establish an effective body to regulate the cotton industry. The field visit was organized by Program for Biosafety Systems. For more details, visit http://biotech.einnews.com/article/232112668/MuggY9oyimCutn7y. Experts Call on the Commonwealth Parliamentarians to Adopt New Technologies in Agri Section: News from Around the World The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) organized a three-day workshop of the Parliamentary Agriculture Committees from India, Africa, and South Asia Regions last October 29-31, 2014 at the Punjab Legislative Assembly, Chandigarh, India. The workshop was inaugurated by the Chief Minister of Punjab Sh Prakash Singh Badal, Speaker of the Punjab Legislative Assembly Dr. Charnjit Singh Atwal, and Honorable Speaker of Indian Lok Sabha Smt. Sumitra Mahajan. It was attended by leaders of Parliamentary Agriculture Committees, legislatures and delegates from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Malaysia, Maldives, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Uganda. The workshop aimed to devise ways to increase food productivity and achieve food security. Discussions stressed that technical innovations are vital to meet today's challenges of food security and that countries should focus on crop improvement and on sustainable use of resources. Other issues tackled include the myths and realities of GM crops, safety of GM food and the parliamentary agricultural committees' role in strengthening the agriculture sector.
