Penelitian ini membahas mengenai kedudukan Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) di dalam perdagangan internasional. Pembahasan akan mengkaji mengenai GMO di dalam perjanjian-perjanjian internasional secara umum maupun secara khusus di dalam perjanjian-perjanjian mengenai perdagangan internasional. Pada khususnya akan dibahas mengenai status perdagangan produk GMO di WTO dengan mengacu pada perjanjian-perjanjian WTO dan sengketa mengenai produk GMO yang pernah diajukan ke Dispute Settlement Body WTO. Selanjutnya, dianalisis mengenai dampak dari penyelesaian sengketa di DSB WTO tersebut terhadap perdagangan produk GMO. Sengketa EC-Biotech (WTO 2006) memiliki dampak terkait penerapan prinsip kehati-hatian dalam upaya perlindungan terkait dengan produk GMO dan kebijakan mengenai perdagangan produk GMO. ......This research examines the position of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) in international trade. The study will examine about GMO in general in international treaties and specifically in international treaties of international trade. The trade status of GMO will be specifically discussed in accordance with the agreements of the WTO and the case made before the WTO Dispute Settlement Body. Furthermore, the implications of the case in the WTO Dispute Settlement Body towards trade of GMO products are also analysed. The EC-Biotech Case (WTO 2006) has implications towards the application of the precautionary principle in relation with protection measures of GMO products and in trade policies involving GMO products.

More than ten years ago, the first genetically modified foods took their place on the shelves of American supermarkets. But while American consumers remained blissfully unconcerned with the new products that suddenly filled their kitchens, Europeans were much more wary of these ?Frankenfoods.? When famine struck Africa in 2002, several nations refused shipments of genetically modified foods, fueling a controversy that put the issue on the world's political agenda for good.

ABSTRACT
Consumers worldwide have reacted negatively to food products made from genetically modified (GM) ingredients. This study strives to understand the importance placed by consumers on the features of a product when purchasing halal yogurt drinks with GM or non GM ingredient along with the level of antioxidants, price, flavor and Halal certification from JAKIM. In addition, their attitudes towards genetically modified foods, in general, and their purchase intention towards genetically modified yogurt drinks, in particular, were also determined. Experimental design using a convenience sampling was used; 120 eligible responses were received from the study using three types of yogurt drinks. The research findings showed that nutrition was deemed as being the most important product feature that influenced the decision in purchasing yogurt drinks, followed by freshness, price, flavor, variety, and origin. Furthermore, it was found that respondents presented a neutral attitude and purchase intention towards genetically modified yogurt drinks. The recommendations to market practitioners, research limitations, as well as suggestions for future studies are also discussed.

Genetically modified (GM) or transgenic crops transformed global agriculture since their commercial release in the mid-1990s. GM crops are the product of genetically engineered seeds that are resistant to herbicides and insects. The United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina account for 80% of the global area planted with GM crops. Based on a decade of research (2003-2013), this book investigates the ways in which peasants and rural populations resist but also negotiate the socioenvironmental consequences of GM soybeans in Argentina. The Argentine government authorized the use of GM, herbicide-resistant soybean seeds in 1996 in the midst of a profound process of neoliberalization. By the mid-2000s, GM soybeans were cultivated on half of the arable land in Argentina. While this agricultural boom has benefitted agribusiness companies, it also has accelerated the deforestation of native forests, prompted the eviction of indigenous and peasant families, and spurred episodes of agrochemical exposure. Soybeans and Power offers three insights. First, it inspects the consequences of GM crops in concrete rural spaces. Through ethnographic research, the book grounds abstract debates about GM crops in concrete experiences of peasants and rural populations, those bearing witness to their expansion. Second, it scrutinizes processes of demobilization and the decline of contention, which are much less understood than the mobilization and the emergence of social movements. Third, it draws on the case of Argentina, a major global player in transgenic agriculture, shedding light on the social and environmental impacts of the recent commodity boom in Latin America.
