The Food Security and Ag-Biotech News listserv is a product of the Meridian Institute, a non-governmental organization (NGO) whose mission is to solve problems and resolve conflicts arising from the integration of environmental, health, economic, and social issues. Through Food Security and Ag-Biotech News, Meridian hopes to contribute to an open and constructive dialogue about agricultural issues. The listserv connects policy makers, industry representatives, NGOs, scientists, academics, and others to the most recent and pertinent developments in agricultural biotechnology and food security. Subscribers receive daily e-mails that summarize news and resources concerning food security, intellectual property rights, biosafety, liability, technology transfer, and sub-Saharan Africa. As biotechnology impacts many areas of society, Food Security and Ag-Biotech News also reports on developments in agricultural research and development, international agricultural trade, environmental negotiations, economic development, agricultural policy and developing country issues that intersect with food security. The information contained in Food Security and Ag-Biotech News is compiled from a range of sources including peer-reviewed journals, popular press (e.g., newspapers, radio, etc.), NGO publications, international organizations (e.g., Convention on Biological Diversity, World Trade Organization, etc.), agricultural research centers, government agencies, and industry publications. Food Security and Ag-Biotech News is an example of the tools and strategies developed by Meridian to support collaborative problem solving processes.
