Description:... The VERDI project (Valuating environmental impacts of genetically modified crops - ecological and ethical criteria for regulatory decision-making) is a interdisciplinary collaboration between biosafety experts and risk ethicicists. Its aim is to develop recommendations for decision makers and regulatory authorities, thus helping to improve the regulation of GM plants. The results show that both the umambiguous description of protection goals and the establishment of a basis of comparison are two essential criteria when defining harm.
