Biosafety of genetically modified plants: GMO-Safety.eu information portal brings transparency to biosafety research
www.gmo-safety.eu - Biosafety research made transparent
The information portal was commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and over recent years has become the central information hub for everything to do with biological safety research in Germany. Now the website is also available in English. At www.gmo-safety.eu interested laymen, journalists and politicians can find out what effect the modification of plant DNA has on the ecological interaction between plants and their environment. The primary focus of the site is on crops - maize, oilseed rape, potatoes and grain. Other topics include the development of more accurate tools for plant genetic engineering and concepts for post-market monitoring. A comprehensive database provides clear information about current and completed research projects, their aims and results. The research information is supplemented by background reports, interviews and insights into the day-to-day work of researchers. The site also presents major international studies on the environmental safety of GM plants.
The website accompanies the BMBF's support programme for biosafety research into genetically modified crops, which was launched in 2001. The ministry's aim is to create greater transparency and to offer the public the opportunity to form an informed opinion about the opportunities and threats of transgenic plants.
