Cisgenic Crops: Safety, Legal and Social Issues
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-10723-8 (ISBN)
This book is the first comprehensive compilation of existing knowledge on the impact of cisgenic crops on biodiversity, environment, and ecosystem. Strategies to create and access cisgenic crops, potential risks assessment, and legal implications across the globe (European Union, North and South Americas, Africa, and Asia) are enumerated. Ethics, economics, safety, social concerns, and consumer acceptance of cisgenic foods are deliberated. Policy paradigm and ways to overcome GM regulations through cisgenic crops are highlighted. The book has 12 chapters authored by internationally leading experts on the subject. This book will be useful especially for the policy makers and GMO regulators, while the students, teachers, and researchers from across the globe will be equally benefited.
Prof. Anurag Chaurasia, a biotechnologist working with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Government of India, is a pioneer worker on transgenics/GMOs in the country. He has served as faculty 'Molecular biology and biotechnology' at NRC on Plant Biotechnology, IARI, PUSA, New Delhi, and has established the IDA recognized National Bureau on Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM) at Mau, Uttar Pradesh, India. His opinion articles in the reputed journal Nature have been accepted by the Government of India in formulating the National Policy Documents for the Genetically Modified Crops, National Education Policy 2020 and Scientific Social Responsibilities. He is a series co-editor for the book series "Topics in Biodiversity and Conservation" Springer Nature and has been serving on the board of many reputed journals being published by the Springer Nature, Elsevier, and Oxford University Press.
