16. Agricultural BIotechnology Part IIIb. Issues, Controversies and Concerns NQ
When the public thinks about GMOs in Food many controversies arise. Many of these are the result of a lack of knowledge about the technology and agriculture in general. Hopefully, given the previous parts on this topic the debate is now reasonably informed. In these part we consider the basis of some of the issues and controversies, which have merit, which are myth, and which need further consideration. These include: bull; Uncertainty about safety bull; Regulatory issues bull; Right of choice bull; Environmental concerns bull; Globalization bull; Big science, big companies bull; Distrust of Science bull; Food culture bull; "Crossing the line" Note to the student: We know this is a BIG section of this course and no textbook assignments, but with these extra lectures to view online....pay attention, we hope you have a lot to gain here!!! Agriculture is a big topic here because many of the applications are already in the market place. Food is something we are all involved with daily. Food is a sensitive topic and every culture has their own food. Many of the applications in agriculture will have parallels in the other applications of biotechnology which we consider in later parts of this course. Please contact us on your questions and comments, and about concerns which we did not address in this part of the series.From:Albert KauschViews:0 0ratingsTime:01:22:10More inScience Technology
