Edinburgh will host the world’s largest ever conference on the safety of
genetically modified food next week. Run by the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development, it will focus solely on the issue of whether GM
food is safe to eat, sidelining all other concerns relating to trade,
environment and ethics. “The primary focus is on food safety, and on the science
that allows you to assess food safety,” says John Krebs, conference chairman.
“Our speakers are right at the cutting edge and will bring the science right up
to date.” Speeches will be broadcast live at www.oecd.org/edinburgh
