متن کاملProperty Claims in GM and Non-GM crops
Conceptualising the ongoing conflict over GM versus non-GM crops in the frame of property rights one can see that economic valorisation dynamics and aspirations are working on both sides, within two differently evolving agri-food paradigms, with biotechnology companies propagating intellectual property rights on seeds and crops within a productivist strategy, and with retailer chains, NGOs, far...
متن کاملGreener light on GM crops
A new study of a number of specific GM crops over several years in rotation with conventional crops has found no evidence that they may be more harmful to the environment, in terms of the reservoir of weed seeds important for much wildlife, than conventional varieties alone. The findings of the Botanical and Rotational Implications of Genetically Modified Herbicide Tolerance (Bright) project in...
