Molecular differences between GM- and non-GM crops over-estimated?
The difference between GM‐ and non‐GM‐crops has been overestimated, as soon as genetic engineering has been applied to crop breeding. The uncontested understanding among scientists and in particular in risk assessment community was that GM crops pose some novel risks, unprecedented in conventionally...

The difference between GM‐ and non‐GM‐crops has been overestimated, as soon as genetic engineering has been applied to crop breeding. The uncontested understanding among scientists and in particular in risk assessment community was that GM crops pose some novel risks, unprecedented in conventionally bred crops. This has then condensed in the United Nations Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety1, which needs to be questioned in certain basic aspects. |
