摘要

Many developing countries are exploring whether biotechnology has a role in addressing national issues such as food security and environmental remediation, and are considering whether the putative benefits of the technology for example, enabling greater agricultural productivity and stability in the food supply outweigh concerns that the technology might pose a danger to biodiversity, health, and local jobs. Some policy leaders worry that their governments are not prepared to take control of this evolving technology and that introducing it into society would be a risky act. Others have suggested that taking no action carries more risk, given the dire need to produce more food. The questions swirling around the potential applications of biotechnology and what developing countries might consider as they contemplate adopting biotechnology was the subject of an international workshop, Global Challenges and Directions for Agricultural Biotechnology: Mapping the Course, organized by the National Research Council on October 24-25, 2004, in Washington, DC. The workshop was attended by 75 stakeholders from developing and industrialized countries. The ideas of participants from developing countries formed the cornerstone of the agenda and topics for discussion. Presenters at the workshop described applications of biotechnology that are already proving their utility in both developing and developed countries.
