ORG TP248.65.F66 G58 2009

Contents:

pt. 1. Principles of safety assessment of foods derived from recombinant-DNA plants -- pt. 2. Tools and techniques for trainers -- pt. 3. Case studies.

Summary: While the FAO recognizes that genetic engineering has the potential to help increase production and productivity in agriculture, forestry and fisheries, it is also mindful of concerns about the potential risks posed by certain aspects of modern biotechnology, including effects on human and animal health and possible environmental consequences. This training package is composed of three parts: Principles of safety assessment of foods derived from recombined-DNA plants, Tools and technique for trainers, and Case Studies. It is also includes a CD-ROM containing the visual aids and other relevant reference material. After the completion of training based in this tool, recipients will be able to plan and deliver GM food safety assessment training for food safety authorities, regulators and scientists as part of their own national training programs.--Publisher’s description.
