Dozens of well-known scientists have formed a group to counteract
GM food, which is reportedly being promoted by the government
and the scientific community in the UK as being scientifically
sound.
The group, named the Independent Science Panel (ISP) on GM,
has released a report, The Case for A GM Free Sustainable
World, which puts together a wealth of evidence to support
their recommendation of a ban on GM crops and a widespread
adoption of organic sustainable agriculture.
The report comes after many of the scientists have felt frustrated
by the lack of open public debate on a variety of scientific
and other issues. According to the group, meetings organized
by the government to discuss the topic are stacked with GM-supporting
scientists who promote the potential benefits of GM and say
there has been no evidence of harm.
The scientists hope to spur the GM debate with their report,
which has already attracted considerable attention internationally.
