Résumé : | Transgenic crops have proven to be tremendously popular with farmers of the New World, mainly due to short term financial and commercial gains. The recent scientific indications of the possible effect of transgenic crop characters are far from evident; this should instigate us to be even more cautious than we are actually through two-tier clear labelling and other similar precautions. Without proof of safety, the wise course is to proceed even more slowly and carefully, particularly in the delicate sector of the European and Mediterranean traditional and typical quality food products. Agricultural biotechnology is evidently a most lucrative export-oriented field (particularly on the other side of the Atlantic), but genetically modified plants and genetically engineered hormones for animal feeding, even if the possible health hazards are set aside, might not be the 21st century panacea we are told it will be; certainly not if we want to preserve our quality products sector linked to our traditions of production and consumption |
