Our human practice work involved several questions relating to biosafety,social justice and public acceptance.Our astarice is actually a genetically modified organism,so our work focus on people’s concern about GMO.
1. Improve ourselves
First of all,we should make sure that we ourselves have correct understanding on this question.For this reason,we took part in lectures about transgenic.
The first lecture was given by Kou Jianping ,who is director of the Department of “genetically modified organisms safety management and Intellectual Property Office” from “Department of Science, Technology and Education” in MOA(Minstry of Agriculture) of China,and Lin Min,who is director of Institute of Biotechnology of CAAS(Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences).In this lecture,we got to know that transgenic foods,that are saling in market are absolutely safe.For they were tested by associated departments and labs for many years in scientific way.And up to now,there're only a few kinds of transgenic products have gotten permission into Chinese market. After lecture,we communicated with this scientists about new technologies on transgenic research.
Apart from that,we've also took part in a talk given by Wu Yongning,who is the director of “Key Laboratory of Food Safety Risk Assessment,Ministry of Health”,which belongs to China National Center forFood Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA).In this talk,we obtained a lot of informations in analysing GMO.
As we are working to create a new kind of crop,we think we should also know more about agriculture,so we joined in The Sixth Asian Conference on Precision Agriculture as voulnteers.
