About this document
Biosafety Regulations for Transgenic Crops by oryzasativa26 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The US regulatory system for transgenic crops involves oversight from multiple agencies. The Institutional Biosafety Committee approves research and assigns a biosafety level. For field testing or commercialization, developers work with the USDA, FDA, and EPA. The USDA approves field testing and determines "non-regulated" status. The FDA consults to ensure safety testing. The EPA regulates pesticidal substances and herbicide tolerance. Resistance management strategies aim to slow pest resistance to Bt crops
