Abstract

"This book will report on specific biofortification of edible crops using modern biotechnology and omics technologies in their broad and targeted sense. This discipline is attracting the interests of the scientific community who are involved in the development of novel biofortified edible crops, describing how the modern biotechnological tools and omics technologies can be used to improve the nutritional characteristics and nutritional health benefits of edible plants focusing on vitamins and minerals. Some work have been published on phytonutrients enhancement of crops, but few work reported on vitamins and minerals. This book will include, but is not limited to, modification and enhancement of edible crops at the molecular level, frequently dubbed as "modern biotechnology" or "Omics technologies". This book will also concentrate on recent developments of biotechnology used in edible development and will present biotechnology and omics as provider of powerful and useful tools, in a continuum of technical evolution that contributes or could contribute to the improvement of nutritional quality of edible crops"--

Abstract

Biofortification - the enrichment of staple food crops with essential micronutrients - has been heralded as a uniquely sustainable solution to the problem of micronutrient deficiency or 'hidden hunger'. Considerable attention and resources are being directed towards the biofortification of rice - the world's most important food crop. 1. 'Old Lessons and New Paradigms': Locating Biofortification2. Building the Argument: The Case of Iron Rice3. An Institutional Model? The Case of Golden Rice4. An Alliance around an Idea: The Shifting Boundaries of Harvestplus5. Global Science, Public Goods? A SynthesisConclusionNotesPublished in association with the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)ReferencesThese issues are particularly important now as increasing concerns over food security are leading donors and policy makers to commit to ambitious visions of 'impact at scale' - visions which may never become a reality and may preclude more effective pathways from being pursued.Through an in-depth analysis of international rice biofortification efforts across the US, Philippines and China, this book provides an important critique of such goal-oriented, top-down approaches. These approaches, the author argues, exemplify a model of global, 'public goods' science that is emerging within complex, international research networks. It provides vital lessons for those researching and making decisions about science and research policy, showing that if this model becomes entrenched, it is likely to channel resources towards the search for 'silver bullet' solutions at the expense of more incremental approaches that respond to locality, diversity and the complex and uncertain interactions between people and their environments. The author proposes a series of key changes to institutions and practices that might allow more context-responsive alternatives to emerge.

Abstract

Volgens een arrest van het Europees Hof van Justitie van 25 juli 2018 vallen genoom-bewerkte gewassen onder de wetgeving op genetisch gemodificeerde organismen (ggo’s). Dat heeft in de wetenschappelijke gemeenschap geleid tot een gepassioneerd debat over de toekomst van deze nieuwe veredelingstechnieken. Wetenschappers maken zich zorgen dat de nieuwe rechtspraak het onderzoek en de innovatie in Europa zal belemmeren, waardoor ons continent achterblijft bij andere wereldregio’s, waar de regelgeving minder restrictief is. Dit nieuwe Standpunt van de KVAB en ALLEA (All European Academies) biedt een overzicht van de meest recente wetenschappelijke bewijsvoering over de veiligheid van genoom-bewerkte gewassen, en van hun potentieel om oplossingen te bieden voor huidige en toekomstige landbouwuitdagingen. Ook kwesties met betrekking tot de traceerbaarheid van genoom-bewerkte gewassen en hoe dit de internationale handel in voedsel en diervoeder zal beïnvloeden, komen aan bod. Naast de biowetenschappelijke aspecten van de technologie besteedt het Standpunt ook aandacht aan de economische, ethische en maatschappelijke implicaties. Tot slot verkent het rapport de opties om de EU-wetgeving te harmoniseren met de recente wetenschappelijke bevindingen. Deze publicatie kwam tot stand naar aanleiding van de discussies door wetenschappelijke experts, beleidsmakers en maatschappelijke organisaties tijdens het openbaar symposium ‘Genome Editing for Crop Improvement’, dat in november 2019 plaatsvond in Brussel.
