The Myths Of Agricultural Biotechnology: Some Ethical Questions

http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/~agroeco3/the_myths.html

Extractions: Herein we contend that the key problem facing agroecologists, is that modern industrial agriculture, today epitomized by biotechnology, is founded on philosophical premises that are fundamentally flawed, and that precisely those premises are the ones that need to be exposed and criticized in order to advance towards a truly sustainable agriculture. This is particularly relevant in the case of biotechnology, where the alliance of reductionist science and a multinational monopolistic industry which jointly perceive agricultural problems as genetic deficiencies of organisms and treat nature as a commodity, will take agriculture further down a misguided route (Levidow and Carr 1997). Ethical Questions About Biotechnology Environmentalists critical of biotechnology, question the assumptions that biotechnological science is value free, and that it cannot be wrong or misused and call for an ethical evaluation of genetic engineering research and its products (Krimsky and Wrubel 1996). Proponents of biotechnology are perceived as having a utilitarian view of nature and as favoring the free trading of economic gains for ecological damage with indifference to the human consequences (James 1997). At the very heart of the critique are biotechnology's effects on social and economic conditions and religious and moral values giving rise to questions such as:

http://www.idrc.ca/books/focus/789/chauvet.html

Extractions: Michelle Chauvet The applications of biotechnology that have been made to date in agriculture and the environment have clearly been more limited than predictions during the 1970s would have led us to expect. The reasons underlying this fact have to do with the accelerating pace of change in the world. New technologies lie at the heart of change everywhere, and their impact is felt in economic fundamentals as much as in everyday life. In developing a theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the scope of these effects, we must include a study of observable trends that will let us make a realistic assessment of progress in biotechnology. The changes now occurring in the world are being shaped by the process of globalization. This term, however, is subject to various interpretations in the debate about how best to define contemporary reality. Are we dealing with a new and unique phenomenon, or is it merely a stage or phase through which the world economy is passing? We hear talk of globalization from a wide range of people, in the media, in the academic world, and in international organizations, but are they all talking about the same thing? It is beyond the scope of this paper to attempt to interpret these changes and their relationship to developing countries' applications of biotechnology in agriculture and the environment. My purpose is merely to stress the importance of globalization as a factor in any theoretical and methodological framework for assessing the socioeconomic impact of biotechnology, and to propose a few analytical guidelines that should be kept in mind.

Extractions: Biotechnology could enable farmers to produce crops that have higher yields than their conventional counterparts. Or crops that are more resistant to diseases - or weeds. Some new varieties produced with the help of biotechnology might survive better in dry soils or could, for example, tolerate frosts. These important developments would lead to better yields and we hope it will mean better value foods for everyone. Like any new science, biotechnology brings mankind many opportunities - but government, regulators and ourselves, as an industry, also need to prove beyond reasonable doubt that we can identify and control any potential risks and so instil greater confidence in the exciting opportunities our science has to offer.

http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/academic/factsheets/ag/cropweed.shtml

Extractions: Usually, more employment opportunities are available in CWS than there are qualified graduates. Since producers require annual inputs such as seed, fertilizers and herbicides, they seek assistance in sales or service areas such as crop consulting, chemical application and soil testing each year. Therefore, opportunities for CWS graduates usually have been more stable than for employment areas where inputs can be deferred when income is low. Many employers hire undergraduate students as interns for the summer months, and some hire for spring-summer semester or summer-fall semester periods. The department also hires summer interns with an expressed interest in graduate school. The salary for interns often exceeds the income for alternative summer jobs. An internship provides excellent work experience and often results in a graduating senior being hired earlier and with a higher salary than students without comparable experience.

Extractions: By Blaine P. Friedlander Jr. More than 250 people attended the two-day "Informing the Dialogue about Agricultural Biotechnology" conference at Cornell's Biotechnology Building, Nov. 15 and 16, listening to more than 30 speakers with almost as many points-of-view on the topic. Dr. Susan M. Koehler, a biotechnologist with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture, discusses what is required in the United States to register biotech crops and what the key issues are, Nov. 15, during the two-day conference in the Biotechnology Building. Charles Harrington/University Photography The conference, hosted by Cornell's New York State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS), included town-hall style discussions between panelists and the audience, as it covered a wide variety of agricultural biotechnology issues, including food safety, the environment and food systems. Also featured were discussions on agricultural biotechnology in the developing world and the challenge of communicating information on the subject. CALS Dean Susan A. Henry said on the official conference web site that the meeting would bring together scientists, government representatives, consumer advocates and other experts to discuss these issues. "Our goals are the same: feeding the world's population safely and efficiently," said Henry. "The question is, how will we be able to achieve this goal? In presenting this forum for thoughtful and open discussion we hope to inform the dialogue in order to help find some answers."
