Abstract
We discuss options to reform the EU genetically
modified organism (GMO) regulatory framework, make risk assessment and
decision-making more consistent with scientific principles, and lay the
groundwork for international coherence. In this third of three articles, we
focus on labeling and coexistence as well as discuss the political reality and
potential ways forward.

Abstract
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges
of twenty-first century as it is not only going to affect humankind directly,
but by affecting the different regions of the globe differently, it will cause
changes in agricultural ecosystems. Developing countries having tropical
climate will be more severely affected as increasing temperature and drought
conditions will increase the demand for water. A slight increase in temperature
will affect the yields of crops in colder temperate regions as well. Grains and
oilseeds will mature faster whereas, in horticulture, tomatoes, onions and
fruits might be produced of low quality because of climate change. Developing
countries which are densely populated, are going to be adversely affected and
would experience severe food insecurity. Agriculture is one sector which not
only causes climate change itself, but is also affected in worst way by climate
change. There is an increased demand for use of biotechnological tools to help
crops adapt to the various climatic changes which will not only help these
crops to survive in adverse conditions but will also save humankind from severe
food insecurity.
