Biotechnology, Agrichemicals, and the Value of Life (University of Hawai’i)
Blurb: Using examples from the Poison Papers Jonathan Latham discusses the impacts of industrial agriculture and how regulators have deliberately allowed the toxicifcation of our planet. I then explain how new cultural and scientific understanding can restore justice and integrity to agriculture, food systems, and therefore the planet.

GMO Hazards to Health and Ecosystems
This video presents an overview of GMOs. How they are made, how that impacts on their safety, and it details some of the specific documented concerns we have. Filmed at the Sierra Club of Binghamton.

What’s in a GMO (part two) – Insecticidal (Bt) Traits – Jonathan Latham PhD 2016
Cry toxins kill insects that eat GMO crops. The biotech industry claims they are safe because they are natural. Not so says Dr Latham. Link:

Does “anti-GMO” = “Anti-Science?”
If you critique GMOs are you anti-science? If you promote GMOs are you pro-science? Jonathan Latham explains in an interview with Bob Schooler.
Genetic Engin-erring: Unintended Consequences in Transgenic Plants
2011 Scientific Conference Presentation by Allison Wilson, PhD of The Bioscience Resource Project. In this video Dr. Wilson describes her work on the unintended consequences (also know as unintended effects) of genetic engineering. Unintended consequences (UCs) have important implications for farmers, scientists and regulators. Documented consequences range from loss of pathogen resistance to yield losses to increases in out-crossing. UCs are often ignored by researchers despite their importance, yet understanding their origins has important implications for basic research on genome structure and gene regulation.
