environmental impacts that could affect the conservation and sustainable use of
biological diversity, taking also into account the risks to human health”.
Following are potential environment benefits of Biotechnology:
• Fever, less toxic or less persistent pesticides
• Increased yield
• Reduced input (Water, fertilizer, labour)
• Reduced soil tillage-improved soil conservation
• Stress tolerance
• Environmental remediation- metals, radioactive substances
• Phytoremediation
• Cheep therapeutics and vaccines
• Reduced mold toxins in corn
• Less phosphorus excretion from farm animals fed transgenic feed
• No transgene in animal food
• More pulp friendly trees, improved lumber
• Renewable resources substitute for petroleum based products
• Improved farm worker safety
• Rescue of endangered wildlife (American chestnut, elm virus, fungal diseases)
• Genetic modification offers the industrial forest sector, with its long-standing
limitations on tree improvement, potential for development that would not have
been thought possible 15 years before.
Biosafety (one term that is used to describe the policies and procedures adopted to ensure
the environmentally safe application of modern technology)
• Our obligation (CBD= Convention on Biological diversity) negotiated under
auspices UNEP
• Tabled at the earth summit at Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on 13-6-92
• Entered into force on 29 December 1993
• Article 19.3 Handling of Biotechnology and distribution of its benefit
The parties shall consider the need for and modalities of a protocol setting out
appropriate procedures, including, in particular, advanced informed agreement, in
the field of safe transfer, handling and use of any living modified organisms
(LMOs) resulting from Biotechnology that may have adverse effect on the
conservation and sustainable use of Biological diversity
Decision 11/5 COP2
• To develop a protocol on Biosafety specially focus on Transboundry movement
of LMOs from Modern biotechnology thtaq may have adverse effects on the
conservation and sustainable use of Biological diversity, setting out for
consideration, in particular, appropriate procedure for advance informed
agreement (AIA)
