Centring agroecology in Target 10 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework can catalyse genuine food systems transformation in Africa. […] This meta-analysis shows that agroecological transitions in the Global South have positive effects on yields, gross income and production costs. […] For decades, GM crops have been limited to just a few countries and four plant species. Their acreage has remained largely stagnant, despite claims by industry about ‘expansion’. […] Evidence that across Africa, farmers are demonstrating that agroecological systems can equal or outperform chemical-dependent farming while delivering wider social and ecological benefits. […] Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) have inched forward in discussions on the need to robustly assess novel and emerging synthetic biology applications, and how to do so. […] This study on rats shows that exposure to glyphosate and a mixture of glyphosate, 2,4-D and dicamba, often used in conjunction with herbicide-tolerant GM crops, can have severe effects on gut structure and function. […] Concerns raised over the U.S. government’s approval of HB4 genetically engineered wheat, due to serious risks to public health, the environment, and farmers’ livelihoods. […] This study provides strong evidence that diversification increases long-term financial profitability, biodiversity, soil quality, and climate change mitigation benefits. […] National and international laws and regulations governing the release of genetically modified microbes should operationalize the precautionary principle to protect human health and the environment, with robust pre-release risk assessment and continuous post-release monitoring.
