Seminar for GE Crop/Rice Risk Assessment

 

        
  The seminar was hosted by Pesticide Eco-Alternative Center (PEAC) from
8-9 June   in Kunming. Participants from International organizations and
local NGOs exchanged the information on the progress of Asian Regional
GE Crop/Rice Risk Assessment, case studies, methodologies as well as
policies on bio-safety.

They all agreed that it was necessary to introduce knowledge about GE
Crop/Rice and the risk it might bring about to the consumers. The seminar
came to a common understanding at its end session. The host worked together
with other participating organizations and agencies to launch a GE campaign
among consumers. Officers from Yunnan EcoNetwork (YEN) gave support to this
proposal at the seminar.
