STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLESAs experts in science, medicine, and agronomy, we have come together to evaluate the data on the pros and cons of genetically modified organisms (GMO) through an expert review process. We do this within the greater context of the relationships between GMOs and the global ecological and food systems.In the spirit of integrity in our fields of study, we continue to refine and challenge the validity of our own views, as well as the ever-evolving conventional wisdom surrounding the impacts of GMO technology in the food, health and agricultural sectors.We are physicians, biochemists, plant geneticists, and other scientists joined in a commitment to provide a public platform where genetically engineered (GE) crop and food impacts are openly discussed and thoughtfully analyzed.We strive to develop an evidence-based framework for evaluating the impacts of food systems reliant on GE technology on ecosystems and on human health. We do this by drawing upon insights emerging among health care practitioners and researchers on the linkages between food and dietary choices, and health outcomes. We hope that our focus on cutting-edge discoveries in health and the environmental sciences will guide consumers, journalists, policymakers, scientists, and healthcare providers toward deeper understanding of the costs, risks, and benefits of GE crops and foods derived from genetic engineering.
