New methods of genetic engineering are increasingly driving market concentration in agrochemical companies - and with it their soaring influence on politics, research and the media. A new era of genetically engineered organisms is already being ushered in.
Testbiotech provides information on these developments critically and objectively – as well as independently of the interests of the genetech-industry. Our objections to certain patent applications and the risks of genetic engineering are evidence-based and scientifically justified. We are warning that the genetech industry’s interest in short-term profit may lead to losing control of the risks associated with the use of genetic engineering.
What we want to achieve with our project:
to raise public awareness of current developments in biotechnology and their future impact
provide information on the risks
urge the political establishment to take action
