Stakeholder engagement to inform the risk assessment and governance of gene drive technology to manage spotted-wing drosophila

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, 307.

By: A. Kokotovich n, S. Barnhill-Dilling  n, J. Elsensohn n, R. Li n, J. Delborne n  & H. Burrack n 

Contributors: A. Kokotovich n, S. Barnhill-Dilling  n, J. Elsensohn n, R. Li n, J. Delborne n  & H. Burrack n 

author keywords: Stakeholder engagement; Risk assessment; Spotted-wing drosophila; Gene drive technology; Invasive species; Genetic biocontrol; Governance
MeSH headings : Animals; Drosophila / genetics; Gene Drive Technology; Risk Assessment; Stakeholder Participation
TL;DR: It is suggested that instead of focusing on the binary question of whether stakeholders support or oppose SWD gene drive technology, it is more important to identify and assess the factors that are consequential to stakeholder decision making - including, for example, exploring whether and under what conditions key potential adverse effects and potential benefits would result from the use of SWDGene drive technology.

Responsible Innovation Definitions, Practices, and Motivations from Nanotechnology Researchers in Food and Agriculture

NanoEthics, 15(3), 229–243.

By: A. Kokotovich n, J. Kuzma n , C. Cummings  n & K. Grieger n 

author keywords: Responsible innovation; Nanotechnology; Food; Agriculture; Governance; Qualitative research
TL;DR: Investigating how researchers in the field of nanotechnology for food and agriculture (nano-agrifoods) define and practice RI, as well as what motivations they see for pursuing RI found that nano-agRifood researchers largely focused their descriptions of RI definitions, practices, and motivations around a narrow envisioning of the RI principle of anticipation — emphasizing product safety, efficacy, and efficiency.
