INTERESTING BOOK ON GM OF DARIO Bressanin absolutely recommended

GM A good, clean and fair

My book on GMOs is now the library. It's called GMO between reality and legends. Who's Afraid of GMOs? is published by Zanichelli, in the series interpretations (€ 11.80). In this book I tried to give the reader a picture of what they are today genetically modified crops, untangling the maze of legends, myths, and Tissue business relationships phony, exaggerated and false information surrounding the topic, referring the more possible reliable reports of international and supranational bodies and articles published in scientific journals. I tried to compress all in 224 pages, addressing various issues: from the "terminator seeds" that have had the influence of GMOs on pesticide use. The patents to the concept of "natural" through a concise but thorough description of how you produce GMOs, what they are, because you do as GMOs have been produced, which exist only in legends instead, those who cultivate it, where and why and who has won so far. There
offer a statement where I talk about the GMO widespread in developing countries: the Bt cotton, engineered to withstand the attacks of certain insects.

Bt cotton in developing countries

Each FAO year (Food and Agriculture Organization) United Nations published a report on the state of food and agriculture in the world, with particular attention to developing countries.
in 2004 for the first time the report was devoted to agriculture biotechnology, with a caption significantly expressed in the form of a question: Meeting the needs of the poor?
GMOs can help millions of poor farmers? Can, if not solve, at least alleviate the problem of hunger and malnutrition in the world, which in 2004 afflicted 842 million people, almost all countries in the developing world? The answer that emerges the FAO report is a clear yes , albeit with some caution.
addition to the FAO and the European Commission already mentioned, here we will rely on World Development Report 2008 World Bank and the relationship Measuring the Economic Impact of transgenic crops in agriculture Developing During the first decade ( Measuring the economic impact in the first decade of GM crops on agriculture in developing countries) published in 2009 dall'IFPRI. This International Food Policy Research Institute, supported by dozens of international institutions, aims "to find sustainable solutions for ending hunger and poverty. "
IFPRI researchers meticulously detailed all 137 scientific articles published up to 2007 regarding the economic impact of GMOs on poor countries and developing countries. And they are aware of the difficulty of drawing a balanced budget, as shown by the 'incipit of their relationship:

In the debate on biotech plants to distinguish fact from fiction is not easy. The debate has been confused by the influence of rigid and absolutist visions (both for and against biotech plants) about the role of science in society, combined with a general ignorance of science.

Among the possible sources of confusion There are general statements like that "GMOs can contribute to the fight against hunger in the world."
In fact, as we have seen have not yet been developed GMOs able to directly increase the yields (and has not said who will be able to produce them in the future). When yields rise, this is due to better protection from insects.
At least for now so you do not aim to increase food production. It is about helping poor countries improve their agricultural production to solve problems that are different from those of agriculture in developed countries. GM foods are one of the possible approaches can lead to an increase in income for farmers, which consente loro di acquistare più cibo. Gli OGM quindi devono essere visti come un complemento a soluzioni e tecnologie diverse  non come una alternativa.
