Food security is challenged by a growing global population and by climate change. Drought and soil salinity are considered the most important ones that inhibit crop yield and distribution. Worryingly, climate change is predicted to increase not only their frequency and severity, but also their co-occurrence,…

Evaluating the environmental consequences of diet changes in the European Union.

Nanomaterialen kunnen veel verder doordringen in onze voedselketen dan tot nu toe werd gedacht. Dat komt doordat de deeltjes in elk organisme in de keten van vorm en grootte blijken te veranderen. Onderzoekers van het Centrum voor Milieuwetenschappen Leiden ontdekten dit bij toeval, toen zij een door…

This report investigates the different approaches in the authorization process of GMOs for commercial use in the European Union and the United States of America. Three main aspects are considered and analyzed as potential causes of differences in the authorization process of GMOs for commercial use.…
