SABC revolutionises crop and livestock production Volume 2 No 2 Winter 1998 other resources at Murdoch Crop and livestock production is being revolutionised in Australia using modern gene technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of plant and animal breeding. Among the agencies at the forefront of this gene technology revolution is the Murdoch University-based State Agricultural Biotechnology Centre (SABC) which was recently awarded $350,000 from the WA Department of Commerce and Trade's Centres Of Excellence Programme to continue its groundbreaking work and construct a new 24-place laboratory. An additional $100,000 is being provided by the University. SABC Director Professor Mike Jones said the Centre provided world-class facilities, expertise, training, research and development. "The SABC laboratories house 48 resident researchers and provide access to equipment for a further 50 non-resident researchers, and up to 16 Agriculture WA staff in the associated AGWA Biotechnology Laboratory," said Professor Jones. Professor Jones said the SABC's researchers were working on the genetic engineering of crop plants for resistance to pests and diseases ranging from nematodes, (the animal parasites of plants), to viral and fungal diseases.

Full PDF Version Quick Links Harvesting our fuel Where there is waste, there is opportunity Other projects BIOTECHNOLOGY: Waste not, want not Biotechnology has a large role to play in providing climate change solutions. From green chemistry and biomass production (harvesting and transportation) to waste conversion (including cellulosic ethanol and other bio-fuels), plant biotechnology and industrial processes, biotechnology can have a significant impact on reducing GHG emissions. For example, developing new biotechnologies will enable us to harness residual wastes from forestry and agricultural practices and convert them into energy or value-added products. By involving agriculture and industry groups and coalitions, community co-operatives, small- to medium-sized enterprises and non-governmental organizations, biotechnology will allow us to develop larger capacity production facilities for alternative fuels, implement effective solutions for contaminated surface and groundwater, and establish cooperative scientific research, development and demonstration programs with agricultural technology programs around the world. Harvesting our fuel IOGEN The production and use of fuel ethanol in Canada currently sits at a volume of 240 million litres per year. The Government of Canada, as reported in its Climate Change Plan for Canada, has set a target of 35 percent of gasoline to contain 10 percent ethanol by 2010, requiring 1.4 billion litres of fuel ethanol per year.

U.S. Regulatory Process Ensures Food Safety, Officials Say Date November 13, 2002 By Kathryn McConnell, Washington File Staff Writer The United States has one of the most highly developed food regulatory process in the world, making the U.S. food supply among the safest, according to two U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) senior scientists. In a recent briefing on agricultural biotechnology at USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) headquarters in Maryland, Peter Bretting and John Radin said foreign scientists and journalists visiting ARS facilities throughout the United States "light up" when they learn about the broad scope of risk assessments used in the United States during the development of genetically engineered varieties of crops, livestock and fish that promise to help meet the world's growing food security needs. The U.S. system serves "as a model" for other countries developing agricultural and food research centers, said Radin, who recently spoke to the South Korean Ministry of Agriculture on how the United States monitors and assesses the products of agricultural biotechnology. Three federal agencies are responsible for regulating different aspects of agricultural biotechnology in the United States. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) regulates the movement, importation and field testing of genetically engineered plants, livestock and microorganisms. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates foods and feed derived from new genetically-engineered crop varieties. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the use of pesticides, and therefore has responsibility for regulating crops genetically-engineered for improved forms of pest resistance, the officials noted.

The reasons underlying this fact have to do with the accelerating pace of change in the world. New technologies lie at the heart of change everywhere, and their impact is felt in economic fundamentals as much as in everyday life. In developing a theoretical and methodological framework for understanding the scope of these effects, we must include a study of observable trends that will let us make a realistic assessment of progress in biotechnology. Biotechnology and Basic World Trends The changes now occurring in the world are being shaped by the process of globalization. This term, however, is subject to various interpretations in the debate about how best to define contemporary reality. Are we dealing with a new and unique phenomenon, or is it merely a stage or phase through which the world economy is passing? We hear talk of globalization from a wide range of people, in the media, in the academic world, and in international organizations, but are they all talking about the same thing?

To maintain that reputation, the government strives to protect the health and safety of humans, animals and the environment through on-going safety assessments. The government also carries out safety assessments for novel food products before they can be produced and marketed in Canada. This includes assessing products derived through biotechnology. Biotechnology is a collection of scientific techniques that are used to create or modify plants, animals and organisms. For thousands of years, people have been using selective breeding to change the characteristics of plants and animals. Some examples for plants include increasing plant yields, and increasing plant resistance to insects and disease. Animal examples include using selective breeding to develop stronger livestock, and creating new breeds of cats and dogs.

You should select hybrids with the full knowledge of whether it is conventional, approved for EU export or not yet approved for EU export . Growers should read their grower agreements before planting and be fully aware of the requirements of those agreements. It is vital that hybrids awaiting EU approval are kept out of export and processing channels. Know Where to Go NCGA urges you to funnel hybrids not approved for EU export into one of three markets. Those markets are: (1) your own livestock rations, (2) domestic livestock feeding channels or (3) elevators accepting grain not yet approved for EU export. Visit the American Seed Trade Association Web site for more information about the grain facilities accepting hybrids not yet approved for export to the EU.

Publications Lethbridge Research Centre Report: New Head of Livestock Sciences at Lethbridge Research Centre Lethbridge, Alberta, June 20, 2000 . Lethbridge Research Centre Director, Dr. Steve Morgan Jones has announced that Dr. Brian Freeze, a long time bio-economist at the Centre, has been appointed Head of the Livestock Sciences Section. Freeze, who received his PhD from Oregon State University, has been a livestock bio-economist at the Centre since 1983 and has also taught at the University of Lethbridge and Lethbridge Community College. He specializes in mathematical programming, simulation and decision analysis techniques. His research has involved nutritional and breeding technologies in beef and sheep, return on investment to research, agricultural systems modeling, the economics of livestock waste management and agricultural pests, and the economics of biomass and crop energy alternatives. Freeze takes over a section that houses Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's national headquarters for beef production efficiency. The research covers four core programs: ruminant nutrition, feed biotechnology, livestock pest management, and a program that includes physiology, genetics and economics. These are some of the top scientists in their field working in both the latest conventional production efficiency research and the leading edge of molecular science, says Freeze. He believes that combination offers great potential for continued progress.
