Brief introduction to newcomers

This news service was created for those who want brief updates about the events in the field of GE foods. Also, many have wanted some selection in the large and steadily growing torrent of news about this issue. We are selecting them according to general relevance.

We have been involved in this issue for several years and represent a broad interdisciplinary knowledge of the field. We are commenting some of the news against this experiential background.

We don't have the ambition to always serve the news the same day it appears on the field. At most it may take one or two weeks (with some exceptions more) before we enter it . News of very important dignity we try to publish quickly.

The most important news updates have also been entered in the article "Problems and Obstacles in Food Biotechnology" which is recommended for newcomers as it gives a comprehensive overview of the problems and hazards and includes older news. After reading that article, this page is recommended for future follow-ups. If you are interested, don't forget to add it to your bookmarks/favorites.

Investors are advised to start with our brief Message to investors.

If you want news in greater detail, "Genetically Manipulated Food News" publishes whole articles from all over the world. Another good source, used by the former, is Richard Wolfson's GE News Reports

If you know very little about genetic engineering, we recommend What is genetic engineering?", a brief and simple explanation of genes and genetic engineering.

Our impartial evaluation of the safety GE foods has resulted in the conclusion that the release and use of GE foods cannot be justified today, for more, see e.g. "Do GE foods provide any benefits?" Even if our evaluation has been impartial, we are strongly partial in favor of responsible and safe application of new technologies. This is why we focus on the problems with this technology.
