The use of the parasitic wasps to control cassava
mealybugs is a textbook case of classical biological control, in which
the natural enemies of a pest are imported from its native country to
slow its spread.

He added that they were negotiating with investors to set up a cassava-processing
factory in Nebbi district. Omach, through the Petroleum Institute for
Proactive Action (PIPA), have embarked on a campaign to promote the
growing of cassava in Nebbi.

 The
7th meeting of the Conference of Parties to the Convention on
Biological Diversity, which also serves as the meeting of the Parties to
the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety
(COM-MOP7), opened on September 29, 2014 in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Participants of the 5-day meeting include representatives from
government, civil society, and industry. One of the objectives of the meeting is to adopt further decisions to ensure safe transfer, handling and use of living modified organisms (LMOs). It will also advance the implementation of the Cartagena Protocol through the Strategic Plan for the Cartagena Protocol (2011-2020). The delegates will also discuss issues relating to the financial mechanism and resources for the implementation of Cartagena Protocol, the Nagoya – Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol; risk assessment and risk management; socio-economic considerations concerning LMOs; assessment and the review of the effectiveness of the Cartagena Protocol.

 United
Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (UN-FAO) Director General
José Graziano da Silva is urging support for science-based options to
attain global food security. Speaking at the opening of the 24th session
of the Committee on Agriculture (COAG) in Rome, da Silva called for a
'paradigm shift' in global attitudes on agriculture,
adding that only by decreasing the amounts of agricultural inputs, such
as water and chemicals, could the sector move towards a more
sustainable and productive long-term path. He said that options including agro-ecology, climate-smart agriculture, biotechnology and the use of genetically modified organisms, would help meet the expected demand from an anticipated world population of nine billion by 2050. According to da Silva, the previous input-intensive model cannot be used anymore as the solutions of the past have shown their limits. "We need to explore these alternatives using an inclusive approach based on science and evidence, not on ideologies," he added.

 A
scientific review article titled "Prevalence and Impacts of Genetically
Engineered Feedstuffs on Livestock Population" shows the impact of GM crops
as a feed component for animals. This review study is led by Alison Van
Eennaam and Amy Young, animal scientists from the University of
California, Davis. The article summarizes the influence of GM crops used
as a feed component
in the performance and health of animals consuming it from its first
introduction in year 1996 up to 2013. Their study also involved
examining the livestock feeding studies over 30 years and encompasses
about 100 billion animals. Their findings show that GM feeds did not affect the health and productivity of livestock animals. The products of animals fed with GM feeds showed the same nutritional component as the products of animals fed with non-GM feeds. Read more this article at: http://news.ucdavis.edu/ |

 University of Adelaide research scientist Matthew Tucker is changing the developmental path of grain in cereal crops
to better influence yield and quality. Tucker will be taking advantage
of plant cells' ability to change identity as the plant develops, to
determine how to create cereal grains that are healthier to eat and
produces more yield. Tucker said, "I'm trying to identify the pathways that drive cells to become different. We'll be looking to identify natural variants in these pathways that can be used to purposely change cell types in the developing cereal grain." A potential outcome of Tucker's work could be increased antioxidant levels in wholegrain or wholemeal flour. He added that there is tremendous potential to bring the healthy compound-making ability to cereals, which would also help develop a sustainable way of growing healthier foods.
