Abstract

The advent of biotechnology products has triggered a spirited debate about how we should assess risks, who should undertake the task of defining what is acceptable, what rules we should draw upon and where we should vest the authority to decide. In recent decades there has been a strong move to normalize and institutionalize a ‘science-informed’ system in international science and international treaties. Recently there has been a substantive pushback against the privileged role scientists and science institutions play in decision-making, especially in the introduction and use of genetically modified (GM)Genetically modified (GM) crops. We assess the underlying information, valuation and selecting rules involved in the battle between ‘science-informed’ decision-making and rules incorporating socio-economic considerationsSocio-econmic socio-economic considerations (SECs) . This chapter examines the underlying rules, processes, structures, efforts and outcomes to normalize innovative technologies in global agri-food trade.
