*Oogst uit het lab* gaat over nieuwe gentechnieken in landbouw en voedselproductie en over de maatschappelijke betekenis daarvan. Het is geschreven voor een breed publiek. Genetisch gemanipuleerde soja, octrooien op genen, synthetische biologie, biobrandstoffen uit grassen en transgene kippen met resistentie voor vogelgriep. Zo maar een greep uit de ontwikkelingen in de (witte en groene) biotechnologie. Oogst uit het lab laat zien welke technologische ontwikkelingen er al zijn en welke we kunnen verwachten. Wat kunnen we leren van de afgelopen jaren en wat hebben we daaraan voor de toekomst? De auteurs achten innovaties in landbouw en voedselproductie bittere noodzaak; de toekomst is er een mét agrobiotechnologie en gentechnologie. Maar dat kan niet zonder maatschappelijk draagvlak. Dit boek levert een bijdrage aan een hernieuwde zoektocht naar dat draagvlak.

Synthetic biology is becoming one of the most dynamic new fields of biology, with the potential to revolutionize the way we do biotechnology today. By applying the toolbox of engineering disciplines to biology, a whole set of potential applications become possible ranging very widely across scientific and engineering disciplines. Some of the potential benefits of synthetic biology, such as the development of low-cost drugs or the production of chemicals and energy by engineered bacteria are enormous. There are, however, also potential and perceived risks due to deliberate or accidental damage. Also, ethical issues of synthetic biology just start being explored, with hardly any ethicists specifically focusing on the area of synthetic biology. This book will be the first of its kind focusing particularly on the safety, security and ethical concerns and other relevant societal aspects of this new emerging field. The foreseen impact of this book will be to stimulate a debate on these societal issues at an early stage. Past experiences, especially in the field of GM-crops and stem cells, have shown the importance of an early societal debate. The community and informed stakeholders recognize this need, but up to now discussions are fragmentary. This book will be the first comprehensive overview on relevant societal issues of synthetic biology, setting the scene for further important discussions within the scientific community and with civil society.

Before you lies the book ‘Ports and Waterways - Navigating the changing world’, written by the Ports and Waterways team, part of the Civil Engineering and Geosciences faculty at Delft University of Technology. It integrates the content of a number of separate lecture notes we used in our teaching activities and updates this information where relevant. The integration reflects our vision that ports and waterways should be viewed as parts of a coherent system that supports waterborne supply chains, and that their integral design and operation is essential.
