Science, Politics, and the Framing of Modern Agricultural Technologies - The Oxford Topic of Food, Politics, and Society - page 59

Notes
1. We emphasize that the characteristics referred to here are still only possibilities, contrary
to what has sometimes been claimed. See Glover 2010.
2. The following draws largely on Herring 2011b.
3. We have highlighted “risk” and “uncertainty” here in order to emphasize the fundamental
difference between future hazards to which probabilities can be assigned (risk) and those
to which they cannot (conditions of uncertainty).
4. The first public anti-GMO pressure on Chinese officials came from a paper jointly pub-
lished by the Nanjing Institute of Environmental Studies (NIES), one of three research
institutes under the auspices of the State Environmental Protection Authority (SEPA), and
Greenpeace. Greenpeace International has had offices in Hong Kong since 1997, and more
recently in Beijing and Guangzhou. Greenpeace collaborates on various issues with SEPA
and is therefore allowed to operate in China (Pray and Huang 2007).
