The DEFRA [Uk] report into "GM contamination"
What was confirmed is what we already knew - plant GM crops too close to
related non-GM food crops & wild weeds and they will contaminate them with pollen. This report should not stop GM in the UK or anywhere else. What it will do is make a solid foundation for going forward by ensuring that regulations leave enough distance between crops. It will also encourage scientists to engineer ''safety features'' into crops. We suggest several at http://www.molecularfarming.com/safety.html We would see this as especially important for Molecular Farming crops, where the end products are Non-Food Most farms can grow such a diversity of crops, many, many of which do not pose a pollen risk, that to stop Molecular Farming, or indeed food-related GM, on the basis of this report and the UK Govt's very poor way of it's release, would be throwing out the baby with the bath-water. |
