Glyphosate has become the dominant herbicide worldwide. There are several reasons for its success. Glyphosate is a highly effective broad- spectrum herbicide, yet it is very toxicologically and environmentally safe. It translocates well, and its action is slow enough to take advantage of this.

The idea is not to provide a platform for zealots like the anti-GMO reapers or anti-vaccination diehards but to provide a space for open, reasoned discussion of ethical and social issues associated with the development and application of biotechnologies.

All you need to know to destabilize those pro-GMO Monsatan shills!

A massive new Organic Marketing Report was published yesterday at the AcademicsReview.org site on the marketing of organic foods.

Genetically modified organisms have been discussed extensively regarding crop plants, but this is not the only class of species that researchers are manipulating in the hope of producing new characteristics, beneficial to humans.

In the responses to my article on organic myths, I have been called an industrial shill, liar, and an organic hater. People have questioned my motives, saying I am a bioengineer or paid by Monsanto*. They have called for my head, or at the very least, the retraction of my article.

The number of scientific experiments and procedures involving laboratory animals rose to just over 3.7 million last year, an increase of 3 per cent on 2009, government officials announced yesterday.

Cycle of life forces and ubiquitous influence of technology.

It's official, genes from genetically modified corn have escaped into wild varieties in rural Mexico. Detecting such escapes may be tougher than previously thought....

The human race has methodically improved crop plants by selective breeding for thousands of years, but genetic engineering allows that time-consuming process to be accelerated and exotic traits from unrelated species to be introduced. But not everybody agrees this presents progress....
