- Title
Off the rails.
- Abstract
The article reports that the International Assessment of Agricultural Science and Technology for Development (IAASTD) needs to rethink on its vision for biotech to restore its scientific credibility in the U.S. According to the author, the original plan for the GMO myopia of the IAASTSD is to have the entire chapter devoted to "Focus on Trasgenics" however, as a result of lobbying by Greenpeace the focus has been muddied to "Focus on Biotehnology." He added that the Public Research & Regulation Initiative (PRRI) has urged the IAASTD to completely rewrite the biotech section of the report.
