Organic agriculture’s approach to food production is built on a concept of health. This session will explore if this concept is a valid way of assessing different approaches to plant […]
Genome editing is a profoundly transformative technology. It is being pushed by the research establishment, government, media and industry as the smart way to achieve sustainability. The agroecological/organic movement has been […]
The debate in Europe over the application of new genetic engineering techniques, and specifically gene editing techniques such as CRISPR, is intensifying. The research establishment, several Member States and parts […]
The arguments over the acceptability of the new genetic engineering techniques are mainly conducted around political/economic risks and impacts and not around ethical or life values. And yet there are […]
Gene-editing technology in agriculture is extending beyond the usual plant species into a variety of different farm animals. Biotechnologists say that it can help improve animal welfare and that gene-editing […]
Some believe that genetic modification may have a role to play in organic agriculture; while others believe the two approaches are incompatible. Come, listen and decide for yourself.
