Why OECD Work on Biotechnology Policy Matters
The OECD serves its members as a forum on the regulation of modern biotechnology, including novel foods and feeds. As part of its Chemicals program, the Organization fosters a mutual understanding of regulations, facilitates harmonization of risk and safety assessments, and promotes the safe use of modern biotechnology products. Further, the OECD explores policies to encouraging innovation in emerging technology such as synthetic biology.
