The Program for Biosafety Systems (PBS), an international program managed by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) that supports the responsible development and safe use of agricultural biotechnology in Africa and Asia, has just released three policy briefs on GM food and international trade-related regulations in developing countries.
These include: International Trade-Related Regulations Of GM Food: What Policies for Developing Countries? (http://www.ifpri.org/pbs/pdf/pbsbriefgruere.pdf), Labeling Policies of Genetically Modified Food: Lessons from an International Review of Existing Approaches (http://www.ifpri.org/pbs/pdf/pbsbrieflabeling.pdf), and What Information Should be Required on Shipments of LMO-FFPS? Analyzing Options Under Article 18.2.a of the Biosafety Protocol (http://www.ifpri.org/pbs/pdf/pbsbrieflmoffps.pdf)
