Extractions: The EUWAB-Project (European Union Welfare Effects of Agricultural Biotechnology) Since 1995, genetically modified organisms have been introduced commercially into US agriculture. These innovations are developed and commercialised by a handful of vertically coordinated life science firms who have fundamentally altered the structure of the seed industry. Enforcement of intellectual property rights for biological innovations has been the major incentive for a concentration tendency in the upstream sector. Due to their monopoly power, these firms are capable of charging a monopoly rent, extracting a part of the total social welfare. In the US , the first ex post welfare studies reveal that farmers and input suppliers are receiving the largest part of the benefits. However, up to now no parallel ex ante study has been published for the European Union. Hence, the EUWAB-project (European Union Welfare effects of Agricultural Biotechnology) aims at calculating the total benefits of selected agricultural biotechnology innovations in the EU and their distribution among member countries, producers, processors, consumers, input suppliers and government. This project (VIB/TA-OP/98-07) is financed by the

Agricultural Biotechnology and the Developing Countries Introduction On June 20, 2000, the New York Academy of Sciences held a press backgrounder titled "Agricultural Biotechnology and the Developing Countries." Speakers discussed the problems of world hunger and the promise of genetically modified crops, and they highlighted the scientific, social, political, and economic web that this technology will have to negotiate in order to succeed. Rodney Nichols, President and CEO of the Academy, said in his introductory comments that, in view of the rising public concern about genetically modified foods, the Academy's objectives in holding this meeting are that "we, as a part of the scientific community, wish to confront [the public's concerns] quite directly." With respect to the developing countries, the issues of appropriate application of the technology can be even more complex. Such concerns include sensitivity about commercialization of indigenous plants and the power of companies from the developed world. Even in the advanced countries, some fear that introducing gene altered species into the environment might have unintended consequences. Nichols stressed that the Academy's interest in having this meeting was to deepen and broaden understanding of the issues and to have an open and honest debate. "We strongly advocate the role of science and technology in social and economic development; we also want to ensure that broader societal concerns are not ignored."

http://www.agriculture.purdue.edu/agbiotech/Thompsonpaper/Thompson3.html

Extractions: by Paul Thompson Home General Technological Ethics The 20 th century was a time of unsurpassed technological progress, but it was also a time in which humanity learned that technological changes bring unintended social and environmental consequences. The German philosopher Hans Jonas is generally credited with first recognizing the need for a systematic method of anticipating and evaluating technology. Jonas (1984) understood that this would depart from traditional ethics in that technology has impacts that extend indefinitely in space and time. Jonas argued that technological ethics must integrate science-based attempts to understand the systematic and temporally distant effects of technology with ethical concepts attuned to the fact that many of the people who will be affected by technology will not be known to those who plan and execute a technological practice. Even this short statement suggests that there are many ethical issues that can be raised in connection with risk analysis, and most of them arise to some degree in applying this general framework to food and agricultural biotechnology. Some of the most difficult problems arise simply in organizing the issues. In the literature that has already been generated on agricultural biotechnology, there are five general categories in which the products and processes of rDNA have been alleged to have impact: 1) impact on the environment; 2) impact on humans (including food safety); 3) impact on non-human animals; 4) impact on farming communities in the developed and developing world; and 5) shifting power relations (e.g. the rising importance of commercial interests and multinationals). After discussing each of these topics in this section, I will discuss three general ethical issues or responses to the problems in the succeeding section.

http://www.agbioforum.org/v2n1/v2n1a06-sonka.htm

Extractions: The potential for market failure resulting from under-investment in research is one justification for public agricultural research. This justification seems less germane given recent developments regarding intellectual property protection and the size of private biotechnology firms. This article explores an alternative justification for public support of biotechnology research in agriculture. A s noted in previous issues of AgBioForum , the introduction of biotechnology into agricultural systems has generated considerable interest and controversy, both within the agricultural community and in society at large. Many are optimistic that biotechnology will trigger economic growth and forestall world hunger, but others see the potential for disruptions to the environment and even ecological tragedy. Intertwined with these uncertainties are less visible questions regarding the appropriate levels of public research support for agricultural biotechnology. Even among those who are confident that biotechnology will be beneficial for agriculture, there is real uncertainty about the role of public investment as these technologies evolve. Several times this winter, we have heard farmers and other representatives of the agricultural sector raise this kind of question: "With the vast resources that the major biotechnology companies are investing in agriculture, why should the public sector be trying to compete?"

Extractions: This study identified biotechnology issues of public concern through opinion surveys and the popular press. The approach of this project was from the public's viewpoint, and the intent was neither to advocate nor critique any one segment of biotechnology, but rather to identify public perception issues and determine the relative importance of the issues. Based on the results of this study, those issues of greatest concern to the public include: ethical and health issues with engineered animals; value, nutrrition, and safety issues with engineered foods; the application of and ethical considerations in the creation of biotechnology products; public safety and input into the regulatory process; and the impact of biotechnology education, especially the role of television and the press. These issues can also be described by a representation of the type of questions most frequently asked about biotechnology by the public: Will genetically engineered animals present any health hazards to people?
