摘要: The precautionary principle (PP) has come to the fore in agricultural biotechnology debate. It calls for early measures avoid and mitigate uncertain environmental damage health hazards future. This summary article reviews discussion on PP. Main arguments against invoking context of genetically engineered crops are considered.
