Open Letter from World Scientists to All Governments

Summary

**We, the undersigned scientists, call for the immediate suspension of
all environmental releases of GM crops and products, both commercially
and in open field trials, for at least 5 years; for patents on living
processes, organisms, seeds, cell lines and genes to be revoked and
banned; and for a comprehensive public enquiry into the future of
agriculture and food security for all.**

Patents on life-forms and living processes should be banned because they
threaten food security, sanction biopiracy of indigenous knowledge and
genetic resources, violate basic human rights and dignity, compromise
healthcare, impede medical and scientific research and are against the
welfare of animals.

GM crops offer no benefits to farmers or consumers. Instead, many
problems have been identified, including yield drag, increased herbicide
use, erratic performance, and poor economic returns to farmers. GM crops
also intensify corporate monopoly on food, which is driving family
farmers to destitution, and preventing the essential shift to
sustainable agriculture that can guarantee food security and health
around the world

The hazards of GMOs to biodiversity and human and animal health are now
acknowledged by sources within the UK and US Governments. Particularly
serious consequences are associated with the potential for horizontal
gene transfer. These include the spread of antibiotic resistance marker
genes that would render infectious diseases untreatable, the generation
of new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases, and harmful mutations
which may lead to cancer.

In the Cartegena Biosafety Protocol negotiated in Montreal in January
2000, more than 130 governments have pledged to implement the
precautionary principle and to ensure that biosafety legislations at the
national and international levels take precedence over trade and
financial agreements at the World Trade Organization.

Successive studies have documented the productivity and the social and
environmental benefits of sustainable, low-input and organic farming in
both North and South. They offer the only practical way of restoring
agricultural land degraded by conventional agronomic practices, and
empower small family farmers to combat poverty and hunger.

**We urge the US Congress to reject GM crops as both hazardous and
contrary to the interest of family farmers; and to support research and
development of sustainable agricultural methods that can truly benefit
family farmers all over the world.**

**We, the undersigned scientists, call for the immediate suspension of
all environmental releases of GM crops and products, both commercially
and in open field trials, for at least 5 years; for patents on living
processes, organisms, seeds, cell lines and genes to be revoked and
banned; and for a comprehensive public enquiry into the future of
agriculture and food security for all.**

1 Patents on life-forms and living processes should be banned because
they threaten food security, sanction biopiracy of indigenous knowledge
and genetic resources, violate basic human rights and dignity,
compromise healthcare, impede medical and scientific research and are
against the welfare of animals(1). Life-forms such as organisms, seeds,
cell lines and genes are discoveries and hence not patentable. Current
GM techniques which exploit living processes are unreliable,
uncontrollable and unpredictable, and do not qualify as inventions.
Furthermore, those techniques are inherently unsafe, as are many GM
organisms and products.

2\. It is becoming increasingly clear that current GM crops are neither
needed nor beneficial. They are a dangerous diversion preventing the
essential shift to sustainable agricultural practices that can provide
food security and health around the world.

3\. Two simple characteristics account for the nearly 40 million
hectares of GM crops planted in 1999(2). The majority (71%) are tolerant
to broad-spectrum herbicides, with companies engineering plants to be
tolerant to their own brand of herbicide, while most of the rest are
engineered with bt-toxins to kill insect pests. A university-based
survey of 8200 field trials of the most widely grown GM crops,
herbicide-tolerant soya beans - revealed that they yield 6.7% less and
required two to five times more herbicides than non-GM varieties(3).
This has been confirmed by a more recent study in the University of
Nebraska(4). Yet other problems have been identified: erratic
performance, disease susceptibility(5), fruit abortion(6) and poor
economic returns to farmers(7).

4\. According to the UN food programme, there is enough food to feed the
world one and a half times over. While world population has grown 90% in
the past 40 years, the amount of food per capita has increased by 25%,
yet one billion are hungry(8). A new FAO report confirms that there will
be enough or more than enough food to meet global demands without taking
into account any yield improvementsthat might result from GM crops well
into 2030 (9). It is on account of increasing corporate monopoly
operating under the globalised economy that the poor are getting poorer
and hungrier(10). Family farmers around the world have been driven to
destitution and suicide, and for the same reasons. Between 1993 and 1997
the number of mid-sized farms in the US dropped by 74,440(11), and
farmers are now receiving below the average cost of production for their
produce(12). The farming population in France and Germany fell by 50%
since 1978(13). In the UK, 20 000 farming jobs were lost in the past
year alone, and the Prime Minister has announced a £200m aid
package(14). Four corporations control 85% of the world trade in cereals
at the end of 1999(15). Mergers and acquisitions are continuing.

5\. The new patents on seeds intensify corporate monopoly by preventing
farmers from saving and replanting seeds, which is what most farmers
still do in the Third World. In order to protect their patents,
corporations are continuing to develop terminator technologies that
genetic engineer harvested seeds not to germinate, despite worldwide
opposition from farmers and civil society at large(16).

6\. Christian Aid, a major charity working with the Third World,
concluded that GM crops will cause unemployment, exacerbate Third World
debt, threaten sustainable farming systems and damage the environment.
It predicts famine for the poorest countries(17). African Governments
condemned Monsanto\'s claim that GMOs are needed to feed the hungry of
the world: \"We..strongly object that the image of the poor and hungry
from our countries is being used by giant multinational corporations to
push a technology that is neither safe, environmentally friendly, nor
economically beneficial to us... we believe it will destroy the
diversity, the local knowledge and the sustainable agricultural systems
that our farmers have developed for millennia and ...undermine our
capacity to feed ourselves.(18)\" A message from the Peasant movement of
the Philippines to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD) of the industrialized countries stated, \"The entry
of GMOs will certainly intensify landlessness, hunger and
injustice.(19)\"

7\. A coalition of family farming groups in the US have issued a
comprehensive list of demands, including ban on ownership of all
life-forms; suspension of sales, environmental releases and further
approvals of all GM crops and products pending an independent,
comprehensive assessment of the social, environmental, health and
economic impacts; and for corporations to be made liable for all damages
arising from GM crops and products to livestock, human beings and the
environment(20). They also demand a moratorium on all corporate mergers
and acquisitions, on farm closures, and an end to policies that serve
big agribusiness interests at the expense of family farmers, taxpayers
and the environment(21). They have mounted a lawsuit against Monsanto
and nine other corporations for monopolistic practices and for foisting
GM crops on farmers without adequate safety and environmental impact
assessments(22).

8\. Some of the hazards of GM crops are openly acknowledged by the UK
and US Governments. UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
(MAFF) has admitted that the transfer of GM crops and pollen beyond the
planted fields is unavoidable(23), and this has already resulted in
herbicide-tolerant weeds(24). An interim report on UK
Government-sponsored field trials confirmed hybridisation between
adjacent plots of different herbicide tolerant GM oilseed rape
varieties, which gave rise to hybrids tolerant to multiple herbicides.
In addition, GM oilseed rape and their hybrids were found as volunteers
in subsequent wheat and barley crops, which had to be controlled by
standard herbicides(25). Bt-resistant insect pests have evolved in
response to the continuous presence of the toxins in GM plants
throughout the growing season, and the US Environment Protection Agency
is recommending farmers to plant up to 40% non-GM crops in order to
create refugia for non-resistant insect pests(26).

9\. The threats to biodiversity from major GM crops already
commercialized are becoming increasingly clear. The broad-spectrum
herbicides used with herbicide-tolerant GM crops decimate wild plant
species indiscriminately, they are also toxic to animals. Glufosinate
causes birth defects in mammals(27), and glyphosate is linked to
non-Hodgkin lymphoma(28). GM crops with bt-toxins kill beneficial
insects such as bees(29) and lacewings(30), and pollen from bt-corn is
found to be lethal to monarch butterflies(31) as well as
swallowtails(32). Bt-toxin is exuded from roots of bt-plants in the
rhizosphere, where it rapidly binds to soil particles and become
protected from degradation. As the toxin is present in an activated,
non-selective form, both target and non-target species in the soil will
be affected(33), with knock on effects on species above ground.

10\. Products resulting from genetically modified organisms can also be
hazardous. For example, a batch of tryptophan produced by GM
microorganisms was associated with at least 37 deaths and 1500 serious
illnesses(34). Genetically modified Bovine Growth Hormone, injected into
cows in order to increase milk yield, not only causes excessive
suffering and illnesses for the cows but increases IGF-1 in the milk,
which is linked to breast and prostate cancers in humans(35). It is
vital for the public to be protected from all GM products, and not only
those containing transgenic DNA or protein. That is because the process
of genetic modification itself, at least in the form currently
practised, is inherently unsafe.

11\. Secret memoranda of US Food and Drug Administration revealed that
it ignored the warnings of its own scientists that genetic engineering
is a new departure and introduces new risks. Furthermore, the first GM
crop to be commercialized - the Flavr Savr tomato - did not pass the
required toxicological tests(36). Since then, no comprehensive
scientific safety testing had been done until Dr. Arpad Pusztai and his
collaborators in the UK raised serious concerns over the safety of the
GM potatoes they were testing. They conclude that a significant part of
the toxic effect may be due to the \"\[gene\] construct or the genetic
transformation (or both)\" used in making the GM plants(37).

12\. The safety of GM foods was openly disputed by Professor Bevan
Moseley, molecular geneticist and current Chair of the Working Group on
Novel Foods in the European Union\'s Scientific Committee on Food(38).
He drew attention to unforseen effects inherent to the technology,
emphasizing that the next generation of GM foods - the so-called
\'neutraceuticals\' or \'functional foods\', such as vitamin A
\'enriched\' rice - will pose even greater health risks because of the
increased complexity of the gene constructs.

13\. Genetic engineering introduces new genes and new combinations of
genetic material constructed in the laboratory into crops, livestock and
microorganisms(39). The artificial constructs are derived from the
genetic material of pathogenic viruses and other genetic parasites, as
well as bacteria and other organisms, and include genes coding for
antibiotic resistance. The constructs are designed to break down species
barriers and to overcome mechanisms that prevent foreign genetic
material from inserting into genomes. Most of them have never existed in
nature in the course of billions of years of evolution.

14\. These constructs are introduced into cells by invasive methods that
lead to random insertion of the foreign genes into the genomes (the
totality of all the genetic material of a cell or organism). This gives
rise to unpredictable, random effects, including gross abnormalities in
animals and unexpected toxins and allergens in food crops.

15\. One construct common to practically all GM crops already
commercialized or undergoing field trials involves a gene-switch
(promoter) from the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) spliced next to the
foreign gene (transgene) to make it over-express continuously(40). This
CaMV promoter is active in all plants, in yeast, algae and E. coli. We
recently discovered that it is even active in amphibian egg(41) and
human cell extract(42). It has a modular structure, and is
interchangeable, in part, or in whole with promoters of other viruses to
give infectious viruses. It also has a \'recombination hotspot\' where
it is prone to break and join up with other genetic material(43).

16\. For these and other reasons, transgenic DNA - the totality of
artificial constructs transferred into the GMO - may be more unstable
and prone to transfer again to unrelated species; potentially to all
species interacting with the GMO(44).

17\. The instability of transgenic DNA in GM plants is well-known(45).
GM genes are often silenced, but loss of part or all of the transgenic
DNA also occurs, even during later generations of propagation(46). We
are aware of no published evidence for the long term stability of GM
inserts in terms of structure or location in the plant genome in any of
the GM lines already commercialized or undergoing field trials.

18\. The potential hazards of horizontal transfer of GM genes include
the spread of antibiotic resistance genes to pathogens, the generation
of new viruses and bacteria that cause disease and mutations due to the
random insertion of foreign DNA, some of which may lead to cancer in
mammalian cells(47). The ability of the CaMV promoter to function in all
species including human beings is particularly relevant to the potential
hazards of horizontal gene transfer.

19\. The possibility for naked or free DNA to be taken up by mammalian
cells is explicitly mentioned in the US Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) draft guidance to industry on antibiotic resistance marker
genes(48). In commenting on the FDA\'s document, the UK MAFF pointed out
that transgenic DNA may be transferred not just by ingestion, but by
contact with plant dust and air-borne pollen during farm work and food
processing(49). This warning is all the more significant with the recent
report from Jena University in Germany that field experiments indicated
GM genes may have transferred via GM pollen to the bacteria and yeasts
in the gut of bee larvae(50).

20\. Plant DNA is not readily degraded during most commercial food
processing(51). Procedures such as grinding and milling left grain DNA
largely intact, as did heat-treatment at 90deg.C. Plants placed in
silage showed little degradation of DNA, and a special UK MAFF report
advises against using GM plants or plant waste in animal feed.

21\. The human mouth contains bacteria that have been shown to take up
and express naked DNA containing antibiotic resistance genes, and
similar transformable bacteria are present in the respiratory
tracts(52).

22\. Antibiotic resistance marker genes from GM plants have been found
to transfer horizontally to soil bacteria and fungi in the
laboratory(53). Field monitoring revealed that GM sugar beet DNA
persisted in the soil for up to two years after the GM crop was planted.
And there is evidence suggesting that parts of the transgenic DNA have
transferred horizontally to bacteria in the soil(54).

23\. Recent research in gene therapy and nucleic acid (both DNA and RNA)
vaccines leaves little doubt that naked/free nucleic acids can be taken
up, and in some cases, incorporated into the genome of all mammalian
cells including those of human beings. Adverse effects already observed
include acute toxic shock, delayed immunological reactions and
autoimmune reactions(55).

24\. The British Medical Association, in their interim report (published
May, 1999), called for an indefinite moratorium on the releases of GMOs
pending further research on new allergies, the spread of antibiotic
resistance genes and the effects of transgenic DNA.

25\. In the Cartegena Biosafety Protocol successfully negotiated in
Montreal in January, 2000, more than 130 governments have agreed to
implement the precautionary principle, and to ensure that biosafety
legislations at the national and international levels take precedence
over trade and financial agreements at the WTO. Similarly, delegates to
the Codex Alimentarius Commission Conference in Chiba Japan, March 2000,
have agreed to prepare stringent regulatory procedures for GM foods that
include pre-market evaluation, long-term monitoring for health impacts,
tests for genetic stability, toxins, allergens and other unintended
effects(56). The Cartegena Biosafety Protocol has now been signed by 68
Governments in Nairobi in May, 2000.

26\. We urge all Governments to take proper account of the now
substantial scientific evidence of actual and suspected hazards arising
from GM technology and many of its products, and to impose an immediate
moratorium on further environmental releases, including open field
trials, in accordance with the precautionary principle as well as sound
science.

27\. Successive studies have documented the productivity and
sustainability of family farming in the Third World as well as in the
North(57). Evidence from both North and South indicates that small farms
are more productive, more efficient and contribute more to economic
development than large farms. Small farmers also tend to make better
stewards of natural resources, conserving biodiversity and safeguarding
the sustainability of agricultural production(58). Cuba responded to the
economic crisis precipitated by the break up of the Soviet Bloc in 1989
by converting from conventional large scale, high input monoculture to
small organic and semi-organic farming, thereby doubling food production
with half the previous input(59).

28\. Agroecological approaches hold great promise for sustainable
agriculture in developing countries, in combining local farming
knowledge and techniques adjusted to local conditions with contemporary
western scientific knowledge(60). The yields have doubled and tripled
and are still increasing. An estimated 12.5 million hectares worldwide
are already successfully farmed in this way(61). It is environmentally
sound and affordable for small farmers. It recovers farming land
marginalized by conventional intensive agriculture. It offers the only
practical way of restoring agricultural land degraded by conventional
agronomic practices. Most of all, it empowers small family farmers to
combat poverty and hunger.

29\. We urge all Governments to reject GM crops on grounds that they are
both hazardous and contrary to ecologically sustainable use of
resources. Instead they should support research and development of
sustainable agricultural methods that can truly benefit family farmers
the world over.
