29. Seeds of Doubt: North American farmers' experiences of GM crops

Author

Warwick, Hugh and Meziani, Gundula

Subjects
Consumer issues, Assessment of impacts and risks
Abstract

The picture the biotechnology industry has painted of GM crops in North America is one of unqualified success, after six years of commercial growing. The objective of this report was to assess whether this image is accurate and if not what problems have occurred. We present interviews with North American farmers about their experiences of GM soya, maize and oilseed rape, and review of some of the independent research. The evidence we have gathered demonstrates that GM food crops are far from a success story. In complete contrast to the impression given by the biotechnology industry, it is clear that they have not realised most of the claimed benefits and have been a practical and economic disaster. Widespread GM contamination has severely disrupted GM-free production including organic farming, destroyed trade and undermined the competitiveness of North American agriculture overall. GM crops have also increased the reliance of farmers on herbicides and led to many legal problems. Six years after the first commercial growing of GM crops, the use of genetic engineering in global agriculture is still limited. Only four countries including the US and Canada grow 99 per cent of the GM crops grown worldwide, and just four crops account for 99 per cent of the global area planted to GM crops. In the UK, we have a choice over whether to remain GM-free. Our findings show that GM crops would obstruct the government from meeting its policy objective that farming should become more competitive and meet consumer requirements. It would also prevent it from honouring its public commitment to ensure that the expansion of organic farming is not undermined by the introduction of GM crops. The Soil Association believes this report will contribute towards a more balanced and realistic debate on the likely impacts of GM crops on farming in the UK and assist an informed decision on the commercialisation of GM crops.

Abstract

But what is fascinating is that without this obsessive quality there is no way that this tiny fledgling bronze-winged mannikin finch would have lasted the day when Bourne-Taylor found him at the base of a nest. REVIEWS Fledgling Hannah Bourne-Taylor Aurum, 2022 ISBN: 9780711266674 Awhile back, Hannah Bourne-Taylor, the author of Fledgling, got in touch with me to ask for advice about hedgehogs and how she could try to reduce the number being killed on the roads of the Oxfordshire village into which she had just moved. But what really surprised me was how swiftly I was drawn into the darker aspects of her experience, because, like many of us, she feels the natural world intensely and this pain is palpable when cruelty and carelessness cause suffering, or when life is needlessly snuffed out.

The Bolton Peer Mediation Project's work in establishing a Bully Free Zone in six schools in Bolton, England, has won it a Philip Lawrence Award for outstandingly good citizenship. The project, the first of its kind in the north of England, is run by teenagers who have volunteered to become part of a team of 'mediators' in their schools. The mediators seek to resolve conflict using skills learnt on peer mediation training courses. Project co-ordinator Jo Bird explains that the Bully Free Zone has helped more than 100 people in its two-year existence.
