Parekh, S. (2004). The GMO Handbook: Genetically modified animals, microbes, and plants in biotechnology. Totowa, N.J.: Humana Press.
GMO is applied on different living tissues that come from various living organisms such as plants and animals. Genetically modified animals, microbes and plants experience a faster rate of growth compared to the other types of living organisms that have not been modified. Genetic modifications mainly are done through the combination of different types of tissues in order to develop an organism that is better adapted to the environment. The book hence discusses some of the key elements of genetic modifications in the microbes, animals, and the plants. It also discusses the implications accompanied by genetic modification of both plants and animals .
Young , T. (2004). Genetically modified organisms and biosafety: A background paper for decision-makers and others to assist in consideration of GMO issues. Gland: IUCN.
This book discussed more on genetic modification of various organisms in align with biosafety. Biosafety of living organisms is affected by the modification of the organism as the organism may develop various complications. There are many instances that genetically modified organisms are faced with various challenges that affect the health status of the said organisms. The book discusses the reasons for the key decision makers in matters of genetic modification should be concerned with consideration of issues that revolve around the practice. It is hence a matter that require measures to ensure that organisms are protected from any harm that could affect their living conditions .
Anderson, K., & Nielsen, C. (2004). Golden rice and the looming GMO trade debate: Implications for the poor. London: Centre for Economic Policy Research.
This publication address the issues of effects for consumption of genetically modified foods such as the golden rice. There are various debates that have been going around with respect to genetic modification. Various stakeholder in quality control for traded good have various arguments with respect to health issues that genetically modified food has. Most poor people in London have been affected by consumption of genetically modified food products. It hence raises major concerns for proper considerations of the key ways that genetic modification could be addressed to reduce the rate of health complications .
Ho, M., & Lim, L. (2004). GMO-free:
Exposing the hazards of biotechnology to ensure the integrity of our food supply. Ridgefield, Conn.: Vital Health Pub.
There are various hazardous effects accompanied by genetically modified foods. These hazards are exposed to human beings and other living organisms. Much consumption of genetically modified products leaverenders the organism to develop the complications bearing that it results in various changes within the organism cells and tissues. The issues of genetic modification and the hazardous effects it has on the people should be taken into consideration as a way of developing measures that will ensure protection.
Biotechnology raises a number of issues that demands urgent measures to be taken. One of these is comparison of both benefits and drawbacks. It will help in determining the fitness of genetically modifieds microbes, plants, and animals. Other key issues discussed in the book include the changes resulting from genetic modifications of various living organisms and the accompanying benefits of genetic modification.
Matulionyte, E. (2004). Transatlantic GMO dispute in the WTO: Will Europe further abstain from Frankenstein foods? Basel: Europa Institut der Universität Basel.
The main theme of the book is the disputes that have arisenose in the WTO on genetic modification. The book address the main arguments and concerns that the WTO have had with respect to genetic modification of various organisms. Europe being a developed economy majors in consumption of food substances that are genetically modified. This has increased the number of people developing various health complications associated with genetic modification. These include the rising number of cancer patients across the continent. The book also gives various reasons as to why the people in European continent should abstain consumption of much genetically modified food products. The book also compares the benefits and drawbacks associated with consumption of genetically modified food products on a given organism.
Ferretti, M. (2006). Participation, democratic deficit and good regulation: A case study of participatory strategies in the European regulation of GMO products. Bremen: Zentrum für Europäische Rechtspolitik an der Univ. Bremen.
The level of consumption of genetically modified food products has been at its peak in European countries. The book European countries hence raises a discussion as to why most European are on their first line to regulate the consumption of GMO products. The book discussed some of the key measures that have been put by most European countries to reduce consumption of food products that have been genetically modified. The book also gives a clear insight to some of the strategies that European countries are putting across to have consumption of genetically modified products reduced. It also discusses the likely outcomes in the future as a result of reducing consumption of GMO products among the people of Europe continent.
Newton, D. (2014). GMO Food. Santa Barbara: ABC-CLIO.
The key issues addressed in the book relates to genetically modified food products. There have been rising cases of GMO food production across the globe. However, there are also effects associated with consumption of these products. Some of these effects are severe and poses a number of risk factors on the health of consumers.
GMO foods contains some genes that could changes some biological formation of cells and tissues with time. The book address some of research works that have been conducted in the past and various findings. It is with these findings that the book gives various recommendations on consumption of food products genetically modified. The potentiality of the risk factors that associated with consumption of genetically modified food products are some of the key issues that have been discussed in the book. The book also tries to compare GMO food products with ordinary food products to bring a clear difference between them.
Steiner, B., & Yang, J. (2007). Beef labeling after BSE do consumers care about BSE testing and GMO labeling? : Evidence from Canada and the US. Edmonton, Alta.: Dept. of Rural Economy, University of Alberta.
The book mainly address the issues of BSE testing and GMO labeling. It is with respect to what the consumers . Most consumers who have based their lives on consumption of GMO products do not care about the aftermath effects of the products on their health. The book recommends on the importance of the consumers reading the labeling so as to have enough knowledge on with the products. These book discusses some evidences in Canada and U.S where consumption of GMO products is higher.
Diehl, J. (2004). Safety of genetically engineered foods approaches to assessing unintended health effects. Washington, D.C.: National Academies Press.
There are various approaches to genetically modified food products, animals and the microbes. These approaches tends to assess the health implications that comes about as a result of genetic modifications. The book evaluates some of the measures that could be used to approach the issue of genetic modification and develop various preventive approaches to the health effects.
Breckling, B., & Verhoeven, R. (2014). GM-Crop Cultivation – Ecological Effects on a Landscape Scale Proceedings of the Third GMLS Conference 2012 in Bremen. Frankfurt: Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
The book address the cultivation of GMO foods. It also looks on various issues that arose in the third GMLS conference that took place in 2012 in Bremen in 2012. Various issues with respect to cultivation of GMO food products were discussed in demand for development of various approaches that could help to reduce the implications genetically modified food products from both plants and animals have on consumers. The book highlights some recommendations made in the conference and their potential changes towards general outlook of GMO products
