Extractions: info@bio.org Biotechnology information, advocacy and business support National Issues Legislative Action Benefits of Agricultural Biotechnology Printer Friendly Agricultural biotechnology improves crop plants by providing built-in protection against diseases and insects, and by instilling herbicide tolerance, which creates opportunities to produce more and better foods in a sustainable way. Following are some of the current benefits of biotechnology, and opportunities for the future. Fewer Pesticides Agricultural biotechnology promotes the sustainability of natural resources. The built-in protection against disease and insects reduces the need to apply conventional insecticides, thereby reducing handling, exposure and potential spillage. For example, Bt cotton has reduced pesticide usage by an estimated two million pounds since its introduction. Herbicide-tolerant plants also reduce usage of older, less efficient soil-applied herbicides. Reduced Soil Erosion The use of crops produced through biotechnology can contribute to a decrease in erosion because harmful weeds are controlled while the crop thrives, thereby promoting no-till and conservation tillage systems. These tillage systems are effective for helping to save the soil, conserve soil moisture and nutrients, preserve earthworm populations, and reduce sediment runoff into watersheds.
"Battle Over Biotechnology Intensifies Trade War"

http://www.biotech-info.net/battle_intensifies.html

Extractions: WASHINGTON, May 28 President Bush said last week that Europe's opposition to genetically altered crops was a threat to efforts to end world hunger. But even many critics of Europe's stance say that the president's argument does not stand up and that the dispute needs to be understood for what it is: a multibillion-dollar cross-Atlantic battle over agricultural trade. The disagreement will be played out this week at the meeting in France of the leading industrial countries. It pits European leaders, who say they are worried about the safety of importing genetically altered crops from the United States, against the Bush administration, which insists that Europe's attempts to block the crops are an illegal trade tactic. The trade dispute heated up after an intense lobbying effort here in Washington, where some of the nation's most powerful interest groups farmers, the food industry and giant biotechnology companies have been pressing the administration to take on their case at a time of heightened tensions between the United States and Europe. Lawyers and lobbyists for some interest groups have descended on the White House and Capitol Hill over the last few weeks to influence policy makers and lawmakers, and in some cases, to simply remind them of the importance of the Farm Belt in the next election.
Modified Foods Put Companies In A Quandry

http://www.biotech-info.net/quandry.html

Extractions: June 3, 2000 CHICAGO, June 3 Frito-Lay announced in January that it would stop using biotechnology-based corn in its chips. Gerber Products has banned genetically modified ingredients from its baby food. And McDonald's has asked its suppliers not to ship it genetically altered potatoes. But despite these recent announcements, all made in response to public concerns over genetically altered foods, none of these companies is actually abandoning biotechnology. PepsiCo, Frito-Lay's parent company, continues to use corn syrup made from genetically altered crops in its soft drinks. Novartis, the parent of Gerber, remains one of the leading producers of genetically altered seeds. And McDonald's cooks French fries in vegetable oil made from genetically altered corn and soybeans. These seeming contradictions reflect the marketing quandary facing the nation's biggest food companies in the debate over genetically altered crops, which environmentalists contend are potentially dangerous but which the Food and Drug Administration has deemed entirely safe. Though nearly all the big food producers publicly support biotechnology, a growing number of companies are quietly limiting its use. But many say that biotechnology crops are so pervasive that it would be prohibitively expensive, and in some cases, nearly impossible, to eliminate them entirely.

Extractions: By Dr. Ania Wieczorek Dr. Ania Wieczorek is an agricultural biotechnology educator at the University of Hawai'i's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. As an agricultural biotechnology educator with the University of Hawai'i, I feel compelled to respond to the May 10 commentary by Bill Freese. I am paid with public funds and employed at a public institution, and I have the interests of the citizens of Hawai'i foremost in my mind when I address issues related to my work. It is thus of concern to me that Mr. Freese, who does not live here and whose background is not in agriculture, makes a number of erroneous statements regarding agricultural biotechnology in Hawai'i. I believe that Mr. Freese means well, but his article includes misinformation that requires a response. I must first note that the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources is dedicated to serving the needs of all Hawai'i's farmers by investigating all forms of technology, from organic agriculture to genetic engineering. Second, it is not true that most biotech crops in Hawai'i are experimental; rather, Hawai'i's principal genetically engineered crop is seed corn that is sent to the Mainland for field corn production.

In order to secure that bright future, the Clinton Administration is taking steps today to further our long-standing goal of sound science regulation and improved access to information. These steps are intended to build consumer confidence, ensure that regulations keep pace with the latest scientific and market developments and provide that voluntary product claims, such as labels, relating to biotechnology are truthful and not misleading. The Federal Government Has a Strong Regulatory System for Agricultural Biotechnology, a Sector That Holds Enormous Economic and Environmental Promise. The U.S. regulatory approach to agricultural biotechnology applies principles of sound science to ensure that there are no unacceptable human health and environmental risks associated with the use of these crops and that they are safe to enter into commerce. This system, encompassing the food safety and environmental regulations of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, and Environmental Protection Agency, has resulted in rigorous scientific review of products, while providing a predictable regulatory environment that fosters scientific advancement and product innovation.

Extractions: Back Issues Index Ten Reasons Why Biotechnology Will Be Important To The Developing World Martina McGloughlin University of California, Davis The objective in this article is to challenge misconceptions often put forward about the technologies of biotechnology. In particular, I challenge many of the arguments put forward by Altieri and Rosset in their paper published in this issue of AgBioForum . My main conclusion is that biotechnology will be very important to the developing world in the next 50 years. Key words: biotechnology; Green Revolution; benefits; productivity gains; food safety; environmental risk. My objective in this article is to challenge misconceptions often put forward about biotechnology. Within this context I challenge many of Altieri and Rosset's arguments which are not generally supported by existing scientific evidence. I follow their numbering of arguments to facilitate point-by-point comparisons. The argument that hunger is a complex socioeconomic phenomenon, tied to lack of resources to grow or buy food, is correct. Equally correct is the argument that existing food supplies could adequately feed the world population. But how food and other resources (e.g., land, capital) are distributed among individuals, regions, or the various nations is determined by the complex interaction of market forces and institutions around the world. Unless our civic societies can come up quickly with an economic system that allocates resources more equitably and The assertion that most innovations in biotechnology are

See Online Courses Search Biotech / Biomedical Fighting Genetically Modified Food Some opponents of genetically modified foods appear to be willing to develop any argument necessary to oppose these products. As data demonstrating the safety of GM foods progresses, opponents are forced to modify their arguments. Examples include raising concerns that DNA surrounding genes might possibly cause serious health and environmental problems. Ironically, there is more reason to believe that the DNA surrounding genes is inert. Public resistance is motivating companies to isolate agricultural biotechnology business units from other activities, refuse to publicly disclose the locations of test crops, and refine safety protocols. While public awareness of safety issues in agricultural biotechnology is promoting development of regulatory guidelines, it is important for safety advocates to play a supportive role lest they find themselves ignored. Because consumers are unlikely to appreciate the contribution of crops with indirect benefits, such as herbicide resistant crops that reduce production costs and prevent herbicide-related environmental damage, there has been a trend towards development of crops with direct benefits. Plants which serve visible needs, such as improved nutrition, are a step in the right direction towards encouraging public acceptance of biotechnology crops.

http://www.cspinet.org/biotech/nabc_final.html

Extractions: Today, farmers and the environment benefit from the first generation of agricultural biotechnology crops. The biotechnology industry and academics trumpet the next generation of genetically engineered ("GE") crops, such as more nutritious foods and plants used to produce pharmaceuticals, antibodies and industrial enzymes. If those crops are commercialized, is the current regulatory structure in the United States up to the task of ensuring that those products are safe for humans and the environment? This paper analyzes the ability of the regulatory system to adequately regulate the next generation of agricultural biotechnology products. It concludes that without additional legal authority and stronger oversight, the US regulatory system cannot ensure that only agricultural biotechnology products that are safe for humans and the environment are commercialized. I. What the Future Holds? Virtually every week there is media coverage about new applications for agricultural biotechnology. Some applications add new genes to crops to make food more nutritious. For example, in the past year, the press has reported on the following potential products: Scientists have inserted two genes from a daffodil and one from a bacterium into rice plants to create golden rice. That rice produces beta-carotene, which the human body turns into vitamin A.
