Produktbeschreibung

The world is torn between 'feeding the world' and consumer interest. Genetically modified crops were presented as a solution to the starving world with claims of improving nutrition in human beings and improving farming methods. However, the regulation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is controversial due to many interests at stake: the commercial interests, scientific development and feeding the world. GMOs are promoted as a way to food security but consumers resist GMOs because of uncertain results of the alien organism. The EU does not have confidence in the safety claims of GMOs which impacts upon the regulatory regime. Bangladesh has too much confidence on the safety claims made by biotechnology industries and hence strict laws against GMOs are rarely passed. This research follows the continuing argument of commercial interests against consumers' interests, identifying the differences between the laws of EU and Bangladesh.
