There is disagreement internationally across major regulatory jurisdictions on the relevance and utility of whole food (WF) toxicity studies on GM crops, with no harmonization of data or regulatory requirements. The scientific value, and therefore animal ethics, of WF studies on GM crops is a matter addressable from the wealth of data available on commercialized GM crops and WF studies on irrad...

Exploring the relationship between agricultural nitrogen (N) loading on a dairy farm and groundwater reactive N concentration such as nitrate (NO3) is particularly challenging in areas underlain by thin soils and karstified limestone aquifers. The present study on such a site aims to relate changes in detailed paddock specific agronomic N-loading, hydrogeological and geological site characteris...
