1st Report of the Panel of Eminent Experts on Ethics in Food and Agriculture
The independent Panel of Eminent Experts on Ethics in Food and Agriculture was established by the Director-General of FAO to advise the Organization and raise public awareness of ethical considerations associated with such vital issues as food security for present and future generations and sustainable management of the earth's limited resources. The Panel's contribution both to the work of FAO and to the broader international discussion is highly significant at a time when major developments in food and agriculture - including accelerating technological advances, changes in the resource base and evolving economic and market mechanisms - have brought to the fore a variety of ethical questions.
In this first report, the Panel addresses the major issues and challenges facing humanity today, including the need for an equitable, ethical food and agriculture system and enabling conditions to maximize the potential while minimizing the risks of modern biotechnologies. The views expressed - some of which may be controversial - and the conclusions reached are those of the independent Panel and are not necessarily shared by FAO or its member countries. Nevertheless, the points raised should stimulate an informed and rational debate that furthers our understanding of ethical questions concerning food and agriculture and facilitates their full consideration by decision-makers at all levels.
