Sustaining food production in the Anthropocene: Influences by regulation of crop biotechnology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

It is appropriate that the current era has been given the moniker the Anthropocene, where human interference in every aspect of life is creating changes at ever-greater rates. From genes to the global ecosphere, human activity is the cause of change. The production of food is no exception. In the current global economy, where the movement of food products are seen as a part of world trade, trying to establish harmonisation on the regulation of biotechnological innovation and its application to crop production, as well as systemising the regulatory steps that can be taken to help to achieve this, can be seen as a desirable outcome of international negotiations.
