Abstract:  A technical report discusses the perceiveddirect/indirect effects that biotechnology will have on humannutrition from its applications in agriculture and in the foodfermentation and processing industries. Specific attention isfocused on: principles and applications of genetic engineeringand plant biotechnology (crop improvements); the use of planttissue culture for producing food ingredients ("natural"flavors); food processing applications (genetic modificationof microorganisms used in food processing); reduction of foodprocessing wastes; and food safety considerations. The use ofbiosensors for assuring food quality, and the US federalregulation and public perception of biotechnology also arediscussed.(wz)

Abstract:  The end goal of technology, when applied toagriculture, is to improve the efficiency of food productionor to enhance the quality of our food. That is the goal ofbovine somatotropin (BST), one of the first major products ofbiotechnology being developed for the food industry. Thisarticle will discuss (1) how BST came into being and theimpact it will have on the food industry; (2) whether it issafe; (3) reasons some people oppose it; (4) regulatory andconsumer perception implications; and (5) public benefits.

Abstract:  The issue of the genetic manipulation of plants,animals and microbes is addressed within the context of foodproduction. Genetic manipulation is defined within the widerarea of biotechnology and some of the main benefits of its useare summarized; safety and risk are examined and some of thesocioeconomic problems it can create are discussed. It isconcluded that the technique can offer great potentialbenefits in terms of increased quantity and improved qualityof food, but it raises social/ethical concerns which can besummed up by asking: Is it safe? Is it fair? Is it natural?

Abstract:  A detailed overview discusses federal regulation ofthe commercialization of plant and animal biotechnology.Emphasis is placed on biotechnological methods such asrecombinant DNA/RNA and hybridoma techniques that may requirecloser federal supervision to allay public concern aboutpossible effects on health, safety, and the environment.Particular attention is given to NIH guidelines andrequirement for prior reviews of federally-funded research andfield tests involving non-pesticidal, recombinant plants.Details of USDA and other federal regulations that apply toplants, animals and plant and animal products are reviewed.Policy developments, pending litigation, and the importance ofcontinued federal involvement, in biotechnology are discussed.(wz)

Abstract:  A feature article sumarizes and discusses thebackground, goals, potential, and philosophical concerns ofgenetic engineering in the development of new, improved foods.By 1990, it is estimated that sales of genetically engineeredagricultural products may reach 2-4 billion dollars. Someobservers, however, fear that acceleration of geneticalterations in crops and animals ultimately may worsen humanand environmental health. In addition, geneticlly alteredherbicide-resistant seeds may drive traditional varieties fromthe market. The controversy has become so heated that aPresidential commission has been established to assess thesocial and ethical issues of genetic engineering. Arguments onboth sides of the genetic engineering question are discussed.(wz)

Abstract:  Federal oversight of agricultural biotechnologyfield testing is based on public concerns that unknownconsequences could arise from such tests, and that firms maynot adequately consider the public consequences of theirresearch and development activities. In this paper, fourgeneral types of ex ante and ex post approaches to managepublic risks from field testing are explored. The analysisshows that the approaches are least effective at facilitatingthe research process yet controlling public risks when theresearch firm is small in size and potential damages exceedthe value of the firm.
