This study was commissioned by the World Health Organization to establish a knowledge base for evaluating the application of modern biotechnology in food production. It aims to place in context the overall impact of this technology on human health and development. The study reviews evidence in several broad areas related to genetically modified foods, including currently available products, the assessment of risks and benefits, the broader impact on societies, and the existing regulatory capacity in countries.
