Genetically change plants - did an environmental risk?

Dr. Brian Johnson, English ecologist and many years of leading coworkers with the environment organization English Nature (openPR) - information portal BioSicherheit.de animates the debate by new points of view and surprising aspects

Applications of the bio and genetic engineering in the agriculture and the foodstuffs industry and their effects on humans and environment are controversially discussed in the public for many years. Also in the science world such discussions take place - however usually without public participation.

The separation between social and scientific discussion to overcome is the goal of bioSicherheit.de. The information portal, which reports on behalf the federal Ministry of Research (BMBF) on the biological safety research in Germany, furnished for this a new range. In the “debate” appear in the future regularly interesting articles, which animate the discussion around the Green genetic engineering by new points of view, surprising aspects and illuminating perspective changes. The public can discuss in the forum the controversies theses and suggestions and contribute own points of view.

To the debate scientific topics, in addition, social perceptions of the science stand. A lecture of the English ecologist Brian Johnson makes the beginning, with which it opened the international conference of the society for ecology in Bremen in September 2006 as a guest speaker. Johnson says of itself, he is long “its whole life a Green”. As a leading scientific coworker with English Nature he observed over years, how new agricultural procedures affect bio diversity and environment. Now it pleads for new plants and cultivation concepts. There is the lecture for the first time on bioSicherheit.de in German language.

bioSicherheit.de - biological safety research in Germany

The Internet portal bioSicherheit.de informs up-to-date and generally comprehensibly about the research projects promoted by the Federal Ministry for education and research (BMBF) for the biological security of genetically changed plants. An extensive data base with abstracts to investigation article, test methods and results supplemental by background reports, interviews and views of the researcher everyday life. The portal makes the results of the biological safety research of a broad public accessible and is the adept opinion identification to promote. It is provided on behalf the Federal Ministry for education and research by a project group from genius GmbH, Darmstadt, TransGen, Aachen and TÜV north group. Since November 2006 the information under www.gmo-safety.eu is available completely also in English language.
