Gregory Jaffe, Director, Biotechnology Project, Center for Science in the Public Interest member of the United States Department of Agriculture’s Advisory Committee on Biotechnology and 21st Century Agriculture (AC21) briefs Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on The report by AC21 the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s longstanding advisory committee on big-picture issues around the long-term implications of the use of biotechnology on agriculture and the work of USDA in Washington, D. C. Thur. Dec. 8, 2016. The report offers a framework for farmers and communities to discuss farm management activities that may impact their neighbors’ farming activities. It is intended to provide information to resolve local issues that may arise, or to help alert farmers in an area of new production opportunities for particular markets that may come with specialized requirements.

This side event celebrated successes achieved by Member States in applying nuclear techniques towards the achievement of food security and crop adaptation to climate change. After speeches by IAEA and FAO DGs, DG Grossi honoured the 28 awardees from 20 Member States by giving their certificates to their respective ambassadors. Awards were in three categories: Outstanding Achievement, Women in Plant Mutation Breeding and Young Scientists. Several Ambassadors who took the floor at the event praised the work of the IAEA and the FAO.

Monsanto Company is a publicly traded American multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation headquartered in Creve Coeur, Missouri. It is a leading producer of genetically engineered (GE) seed and of the herbicide glyphosate, which it markets under the Roundup brand. Founded in 1901 by John Francis Queeny, by the 1940s it was a major producer of plastics, including polystyrene and synthetic fibers. Notable achievements by Monsanto and its scientists as a chemical company included breakthrough research on catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation and being the first company to mass-produce light emitting diodes (LEDs). The company also formerly manufactured controversial products such as the insecticide DDT, PCBs, Agent Orange, and recombinant bovine somatotropin.
Monsanto was among the first to genetically modify a plant cell, along with three academic teams, which was announced in 1983, and was among the first to conduct field trials of genetically modified crops, which it did in 1987. It remained one of the top 10 U.S. chemical companies until it divested most of its chemical businesses between 1997 and 2002, through a process of mergers and spin-offs that focused the company on biotechnology.
Monsanto was a pioneer in applying the biotechnology industry business model to agriculture, using techniques developed by Genentech and other biotech drug companies in the late 1970s in California. In this business model, companies invest heavily in research and development, and recoup the expenses through the use and enforcement of biological patents. Monsanto's application of this model to agriculture, along with a growing movement to create a global, uniform system of plant breeders' rights in the 1980s, came into direct conflict with customary practices of farmers to save, reuse, share and develop plant varieties. Its seed patenting model has also been criticized as biopiracy and a threat to biodiversity. Monsanto's role in these changes in agriculture (which include its litigation and its seed commercialization practices), its current and former agbiotech products, its lobbying of government agencies, and its history as a chemical company, have made Monsanto controversial.
Legal actions and controversies
Monsanto is notable for its involvement in high profile lawsuits, as both plaintiff and defendant. It has been involved in a number of class action suits, where fines and damages have run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, usually over health issues related to its products. Monsanto has also made frequent use of the courts to defend its patents, particularly in the area of agricultural biotechnology.
On 25 May 2013, rallies against Monsanto took place. According to organizers, rallies were planned in 52 countries and 436 cities, and their goal was to protest against Monsanto and the genetically modified food it produces.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program was established in 2009 as a unique program that assists drug discovery by bridging the gap that often exists between basic research discoveries and the testing of new drugs in humans. The work of TRND includes the optimization and preclinical testing of therapies to generate sufficient quality data to support successful first-in-human studies. TRND stimulates research collaborations among NIH and academic scientists, nonprofit organizations, and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to foster the successful commercialization of new treatments for rare and neglected diseases.

A gene gun prototype made by Rüdiger Trojok from an old soda stream bottle, on display in the 'Biohacking: Do It Yourself!' lab installation at Medical Museion. The gene gun was invented in 1983-1986, and is a simple device that is key to many synthetic biology experiments, delivering gold particles coated with DNA into plants or other organisms - but it cannot be used outside authorized labs.
