To ensure their contributions to long‐term sustainability, a broad range of environmental, health, ethical, and societal parameters should be used in their evaluations. This paper proposes a set of parameters to evaluate the sustainability of genetically engineered food and agriculture products and discusses mechanisms to improve their governance and oversight. With such holistic evaluations, genetic engineering applications that are deemed beneficial to sustainable agriculture could be identified in an effort to foster sustainability.SummaryTo achieve international sustainable development goals, food and agricultural production need to rely on sustainable and resilient practices. Traditional breeding as well as the use of new agricultural technologies, including genetic engineering and gene editing, have the potential to help achieve sustainable agrifood production. Although numerous oversight mechanisms exist to guarantee the secure and sustainable advancement and utilization of genetically engineered agrifoods, the majority of these mechanisms heavily depend on a narrow set of parameters to assess risks and safety concerning human health and nontarget organisms. However, a more comprehensive range of parameters should be considered to promote environmental and social sustainability in a more holistic manner. This Opinion article argues that to achieve a more sustainable agrifood production that relies on genetic engineering, governance systems related to new agrifood biotechnologies should incorporate a broader array of environmental, health, ethical, and societal factors to ensure their sustainability in the long‐term. To facilitate this process, we propose a set of parameters to help evaluate the sustainability of agrifoods that rely on genetic engineering. We then discuss major challenges and opportunities for formalizing sustainability parameters in US governance policy and decision‐making systems. Overall, this work contributes to further developing a more comprehensive assessment framework that aims to minimize potential risks and maximize potential benefits of agrifood biotechnology while also fostering sustainability.}, journal={PLANTS PEOPLE PLANET}, author={Wei, Wei and Grieger, Khara and Cummings, Christopher L. and Loschin, Nick and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2023}, month={Jul} } @article{tang_kuzma_zhang_song_li_liu_hu_2023, title={Synthetic biology and governance research in China: a 40-year evolution}, volume={7}, ISSN={["1588-2861"]}, DOI={10.1007/s11192-023-04789-0}, journal={SCIENTOMETRICS}, author={Tang, Li and Kuzma, Jennifer and Zhang, Xi and Song, Xinyu and Li, Yin and Liu, Hongxu and Hu, Guangyuan}, year={2023}, month={Jul} } @article{taitingfong_triplett_vasquez_rajagopalan_raban_roberts_terradas_baumgartner_emerson_gould_et al._2022, title={Exploring the value of a global gene drive project registry}, volume={12}, ISSN={["1546-1696"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85144085721&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1038/s41587-022-01591-w}, number={1}, journal={NATURE BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Taitingfong, Riley I. and Triplett, Cynthia and Vasquez, Valeri N. and Rajagopalan, Ramya M. and Raban, Robyn and Roberts, Aaron and Terradas, Gerard and Baumgartner, Bridget and Emerson, Claudia and Gould, Fred and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Dec} } @article{grieger_zarate_barnhill-dilling_hunt_jones_kuzma_2022, title={Fostering Responsible Innovation through Stakeholder Engagement: Case Study of North Carolina Sweetpotato Stakeholders}, volume={14}, ISSN={2071-1050}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su14042274}, DOI={10.3390/su14042274}, abstractNote={Stakeholder and community engagement are critical for the successful development of new technologies that aim to be integrated into sustainable agriculture systems.

This work also demonstrates an example of real-time technology assessment that also fosters responsible innovation through inclusivity and responsiveness. Through the conduction of 29 interviews with sweetpotato stakeholders in North Carolina, we found that participants found the most value in detecting external sweetpotato characteristics, as well as the ability to use or connect to a smartphone that can be used in field. They also found value in including environmental parameters and having a Spanish language module. Most participants indicated that they were comfortable with sharing data as long as it benefited the greater North Carolina sweetpotato industry, and were concerned with sharing these data with “outside” competitors. We also observed differences and variations between stakeholder groups.

In other areas of bioethical controversy, big-picture questions often enter the public forum via slippery slope arguments. Given the incredible potential of gene drive organisms to alter the Earth's biota, it is somewhat surprising that slippery slope arguments have not played a more prominent role in ethical and policy debates about these emerging technologies. In this article, we examine a type of slippery slope argument against using gene drives to alter or suppress wild pest populations and consider whether it has a role to play in ethical and policy debates. Although we conclude that this argument does not provide compelling reasons for banning the use of gene drives in wild pest populations, we believe that it still has value as a morally instructive cautionary narrative that can motivate scientists, ethicists, and members of the public to think more clearly about appropriate vs. inappropriate uses of gene drive technologies, the long-term and cumulative and emergent risks of using gene drives in wild populations, and steps that can be taken to manage these risks, such as protecting wilderness areas where people can enjoy life forms that have not been genetically engineered.}, journal={PATHOGENS AND GLOBAL HEALTH}, author={Resnik, David B. and Medina, Raul F. and Gould, Fred and Church, George and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2022}, month={Dec} } @article{kuzma_2022, title={Governance of Gene-edited Plants: Insights from the History of Biotechnology Oversight and Policy Process Theory}, volume={6}, ISSN={["1552-8251"]}, DOI={10.1177/01622439221108225}, abstractNote={ The history of US biotechnology oversight for genetically modified plants is analyzed in the context of policy process theories to derive insights for contemporary governance of gene-edited plants. The Advocacy Coalition Framework sheds light on how opposing coalitions with different policy beliefs struggled to influence oversight, along with coalition disputes over the scope of issues that should be considered in regulatory policy-making. The Multiple Streams Approach and Punctuated Equilibrium Theory explain how focusing events arising from these struggles opened “windows of opportunity” to put issues on the public policy agenda and force changes to oversight over time. For example, nongovernmental organizations had a prominent role in bringing legal challenges through federal courts or in raising attention to risk issues in the media—efforts that prompted advancements in federal regulations, guidance documents, or risk-mitigation practices for biotechnology oversight. These policy dynamics depended on public information to bring controversies to light and elicit a policy response. However, recent biotech regulations allow for gene-edited crops to enter the marketplace without requirements for public disclosure or tracking. Lack of transparency jeopardizes the public legitimacy of gene-edited crops, venues for public participation in biotechnology oversight, and ultimately responsiveness to adapt oversight to future biotech products and emerging risks. }, journal={SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY & HUMAN VALUES}, author={Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2022}, month={Jun} } @article{merck_grieger_kuzma_2022, title={How can we promote the responsible innovation of nano-agrifood research?}, volume={137}, ISSN={["1873-6416"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.envsci.2022.08.027}, abstractNote={The use of nanotechnology and engineered nanomaterials in food and agriculture (nano-agrifoods) may provide numerous benefits to society. At the same time, there is also a chance that nano-agrifood innovations may pose new or unknown risks to human or environmental health and safety. To understand these issues and be more responsive to public concerns, researchers are beginning to discuss and adopt an emerging best practice in science and technology communities known as “responsible innovation” (RI). Originally developed by researchers over ten years ago, RI is now a well-established framework that is already a part of science policymaking in the European Union (as “responsible research and innovation”). In the United States, however, there are numerous structural and institutional barriers for scientists to align their research with RI principles and goals. This perspective briefly reviews RI, why it is needed for nano-agrifoods, and how it could be institutionalized more effectively in the U.S. to ensure that future nano-agrifood research is better aligned with societal needs, expectations, and concerns. This work also identifies several pathways to institutionalize RI in nano-agrifoods, ranging from a public legal mandate to privately enforced organizational norms. Further, a set of strategies and/or best practices for implementing RI in the U.S. context is presented that are applicable to both public and private organizations. While key findings from this work are focused on the need for RI of nano-agrifoods in the U.S., implementation of these best practices could have positive benefits for other emerging technologies and in other national contexts as well. • More attention to responsible innovation (RI) is needed for nano-agrifood research. • Pathways to institutionalize RI in U.S. nano-agrifood research are outlined. • Best practices to achieve RI include priority-setting, incentives, and monitoring. • Public-private cooperation can help promote RI in the U.S. context.}, journal={ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & POLICY}, author={Merck, Ashton W. and Grieger, Khara D. and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2022}, month={Nov}, pages={185–190} } @article{williams_kuzma_2022, title={Narrative policy framework at the macro level-cultural theory-based beliefs, science-based narrative strategies, and their uptake in the Canadian policy process for genetically modified salmon}, volume={2}, ISSN={["1749-4192"]}, DOI={10.1177/09520767211065609}, abstractNote={ This study utilizes the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) and cultural theory to examine the use of policy narratives by coalitions (meso-level) and the institutional uptake (macro-level). We analyze Parliamentary hearings about genetically modified (GM) salmon in Canada to associate narrative strategies with certain cultural worldviews and policy-stances. We explore narrative strategies used by cultural groups with regard to whether they contain the scope of GM salmon issues to “science-only” (direct health and environmental impacts) or expand the issues to “science-plus” (to include broader economic, social, or cultural impacts). Finally, we examine whether certain framings of GM salmon issues or specific cultural narratives are preferentially taken up in the final policy documents generated after the hearings. Our findings reveal significant relationships between policy-stance (pro-vs anti-GM), the cultural disposition of a policy narrative, the narrative strategies being used, and ultimately policy uptake. For example, narratives with hierarchical cultural dispositions were more likely to expand the scope of the issue to science-plus when supporting their own policy position (typically pro-GM) but contain the scope to “science-only” when refuting an anti-GM policy-stance. With regard to policy uptake, final government documents referred more to narratives that contained the scope to “science-only” and expressed hierarchical or individualistic dispositions in comparison to the hearings. This study has practical implications for understanding whose perspectives and arguments are legitimized in national policy debates about GM foods. It also extends NPF theory to how narratives containing specific cultural dispositions and risk-based framings influence policy uptake at the macro-level. }, journal={PUBLIC POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION}, author={Williams, Teshanee T. and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2022}, month={Feb} } @article{jordan_kuzma_ray_foot_snider_miller_wilensky-lanford_amarteifio_2022, title={Should Gene Editing Be Used to Develop Crops for Continuous-Living-Cover Agriculture? A Multi-Sector Stakeholder Assessment Using a Cooperative Governance Approach}, volume={10}, ISSN={["2296-4185"]}, DOI={10.3389/fbioe.2022.843093}, abstractNote={Continuous-living-cover (CLC) agriculture integrates multiple crops to create diversified agroecosystems in which soils are covered by living plants across time and space continuously. CLC agriculture can greatly improve production of many different ecosystem services from agroecosystems, including climate adaptation and mitigation. To go to scale, CLC agriculture requires crops that not only provide continuous living cover but are viable in economic and social terms. At present, lack of such viable crops is strongly limiting the scaling of CLC agriculture. Gene editing (GE) might provide a powerful tool for developing the crops needed to expand CLC agriculture to scale. To assess this possibility, a broad multi-sector deliberative group considered the merits of GE—relative to alternative plant-breeding methods—as means for improving crops for CLC agriculture. The group included many of the sectors whose support is necessary to scaling agricultural innovations, including actors involved in markets, finance, policy, and R&D. In this article, we report findings from interviews and deliberative workshops. Many in the group were enthusiastic about prospects for applications of GE to develop crops for CLC agriculture, relative to alternative plant-breeding options. However, the group noted many issues, risks, and contingencies, all of which are likely to require responsive and adaptive management. Conversely, if these issues, risks, and contingencies cannot be managed, it appears unlikely that a strong multi-sector base of support can be sustained for such applications, limiting their scaling. Emerging methods for responsible innovation and scaling have potential to manage these issues, risks, and contingencies; we propose that outcomes from GE crops for CLC agriculture are likely to be much improved if these emerging methods are used to govern such projects. However, both GE of CLC crops and responsible innovation and scaling are unrefined innovations. Therefore, we suggest that the best pathway for exploring GE of CLC crops is to intentionally couple implementation and refinement of both kinds of innovations. More broadly, we argue that such pilot projects are urgently needed to navigate intensifying grand challenges around food and agriculture, which are likely to create intense pressures to develop genetically-engineered agricultural products and equally intense social conflict.}, journal={FRONTIERS IN BIOENGINEERING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Jordan, Nicholas R. and Kuzma, Jennifer and Ray, Deepak K. and Foot, Kirsten and Snider, Madison and Miller, Keith and Wilensky-Lanford, Ethan and Amarteifio, Gifty}, year={2022}, month={Feb} } @article{cummings_kuzma_kokotovich_glas_grieger_2021, title={Barriers to responsible innovation of nanotechnology applications in food and agriculture: A study of US experts and developers}, volume={23}, ISSN={["2452-0748"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.impact.2021.100326}, abstractNote={The use of nanotechnology and engineered nanomaterials in food and agriculture (nano-agrifood) sectors is intended to provide several potential benefits to consumers and society, such as the provision of more nutritious processed foods, edible food coatings to extend shelf lives of fresh cut produce, and more sustainable alternatives to traditional agrochemicals. The responsible innovation of nano-agrifoods may be particularly important to pursue given previous case studies involving other agrifood technologies that experienced significant public consternation. Here, we define responsible innovation following Stilgoej et al. (2013) that establishes processes to iteratively review and reflect upon one's innovation, engage stakeholders in dialogue, and to be open and transparent throughout innovation stages - processes that go beyond primary focuses of understanding environmental, health, and safety impacts of nano-enabled products and implementing safe-by-design principles. Despite calls for responsible nano-innovation across diverse sectors, it has not yet been clear what types of barriers are faced by nano-agrifood researchers and innovators in particular. This study therefore identifies and builds the first typology of barriers to responsible innovation as perceived by researchers and product developers working in nano-agrifood sectors in the United States. Our findings report 5 key barriers to responsible innovation of nano-agrifoods: Lack of Data (reported by 70% of all interview participants, and represented 34.6% of all barrier-related excerpts), Lack of Product Oversight (reported by 60% of participants, and represented 28.7% of excerpts), Need for Ensuring Marketability & Use (reported by 70% of participants, and represented 21.3% of all barrier-related excerpts), Need for Increased Collaboration (reported by 40% of participants, and represented 10.3% of excerpts), and finally Lack of Adequate Training & Workforce (reported by 30% of participants, and represented by 5.1% of excerpts). We also relate these key barriers across three main nano-innovation phases, including 1) Scientific and Technical R&D, 2) Product Oversight, and 3) Post-commercialization Marketability & Use, and discuss how these barriers may impact stakeholders as well as present opportunities to align with principles of responsible innovation.

This study investigates 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. We conducted 20 semi-structured interviews with nano-agrifood researchers from industry and academia in the USA, where we asked them to describe their RI definitions, practices, and motivations. We analyzed the emergent themes from these interviews, including how the themes aligned with four prominent RI principles (anticipation, inclusion, reflexivity, responsiveness). We 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. We also found noteworthy tensions surrounding the less frequently mentioned RI principles. For example, some researchers envisioned inclusion as a way to align products with industry interests while others saw it as a way to align products with the public good. Concerning motivations for RI, some researchers viewed RI as a way to protect one’s reputation and avoid lawsuits while others viewed it as a way to improve human well-being and solve societal problems. Given these findings, future efforts to foster RI within nano-agrifoods should promote discussions among researchers concerning what it means to responsibly innovate and what practices this could entail, particularly beyond ensuring product safety, efficacy, and efficiency.}, number={3}, journal={NanoEthics}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Kokotovich, Adam E. and Kuzma, Jennifer and Cummings, Christopher L. and Grieger, Khara}, year={2021}, month={Dec}, pages={229–243} } @article{grieger_merck_cuchiara_binder_kokotovich_cummings_kuzma_2021, title={Responsible innovation of nano-agrifoods: Insights and views from U.S. stakeholders}, volume={24}, ISSN={2452-0748}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.impact.2021.100365}, DOI={10.1016/j.impact.2021.100365}, abstractNote={To date, there has been little published work that has elicited diverse stakeholder views of nano-agrifoods and of how nano-agrifoods align with the goals of responsible innovation. This paper aims to fill this research gap by investigating views of nano-agrifoods, how well their development adheres to principles of responsible innovation, and potential challenges for achieving responsible nano-agrifood innovation. Using an online engagement platform, we find that U.S. stakeholder views of responsible innovation were dominated by environmental, health, and safety (EHS) contexts, considerations of societal impacts, opportunities for stakeholder engagement, and responding to societal needs. These views overlap with scholarly definitions of responsible innovation, albeit stakeholders were more focused on impacts of products, while the field of responsible innovation strives for more "upstream" considerations of the process of innovation. We also find that views of nano-agrifoods differed across applications with dietary supplements and improved whitening of infant formula viewed least favorably, and environmental health or food safety applications viewed most favorably. These findings align with the larger body of literature, whereby stakeholders are expected to be more supportive of nanotechnology used in agricultural applications compared to directly within food and food supplements. Overall, participants indicated they held relatively neutral views on research and innovation for nano-agrifoods being conducted responsibly, and they identified key challenges to ensuring their responsible innovation that were related to uncertainties in EHS studies, the need for public understanding and acceptance, and adequate regulation. In light of these results, we recommend future research efforts on EHS impacts and risk-benefit frameworks for nano-agrifoods, better understanding stakeholder views on what constitutes effective regulation, and addressing challenges with effective regulation and responsible innovation practices.}, journal={NanoImpact}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Grieger, Khara D. and Merck, Ashton W. and Cuchiara, Maude and Binder, Andrew R. and Kokotovich, Adam and Cummings, Christopher L. and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2021}, month={Oct}, pages={100365} } @article{community led governance for gene edited crops_2020, journal={Science}, year={2020}, month={Nov} } @article{kuzma_grieger_2020, title={Community-led governance for gene-edited crops A post-market certification process could promote transparency and trust}, volume={370}, ISSN={["1095-9203"]}, DOI={10.1126/science.abd1512}, abstractNote={A post–market certification process could promote transparency and trust}, number={6519}, journal={SCIENCE}, author={Kuzma, Jennifer and Grieger, Khara}, year={2020}, month={Nov}, pages={916–918} } @article{core committments for field trials of gene drive organisms_2020, journal={Science}, year={2020}, month={Dec} } @inbook{kuzma_2020, place={Cham, Switzerland}, title={Engineered Gene Drives: Ecological, environmental, and societal concerns}, booktitle={GMOs: Implications for Biodiversity Conservation and Ecological Processes}, publisher={Springer}, author={Kuzma, J.}, editor={Chaurasia, Anurag and Hawksworth, David L. and Pessoa de Miranda, ManoelaEditors}, year={2020} } @article{roberts_herkert_kuzma_2020, title={Responsible Innovation in Biotechnology: Stakeholder Attitudes and Implications for Research Policy}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2325-1026"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/elementa.446}, DOI={10.1525/elementa.446}, abstractNote={This article explores attitudes of stakeholders involved in biotechnology towards the Responsible Innovation (RI) framework. As a framework for governance, RI has received increasing scholarly attention but has yet to be successfully integrated into U.S. research and innovation policy. Using a mixed methods approach, we analyzed the attitudes of different biotechnology stakeholders, particularly those working in areas related to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agriculture and the environment, towards the principles and practices of RI. Homogenous focus groups (organized by stakeholder affiliation) and pre- and post-focus group surveys were used to measure attitudes towards RI. We designed the survey questions according to the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and examined the agreement of stakeholders with policy core beliefs (general principles of RI) and secondary beliefs (implementation practices of RI). Although all stakeholder groups had neutral to positive attitudes towards RI general principles, we found significant differences in their reactions to the scholarly definitions of RI and in their attitudes towards practices to implement RI. In comparison to government and advocacy groups, stakeholders promoting biotechnology innovations–industry, trade organizations, and academics–had more negative reactions to social science definitions of RI and to RI practices that relinquish control to people outside of technology development pipelines. Qualitative analysis of focus-groups revealed barriers for implementing RI practices. For example, innovators were cynical about including external voices in innovation pathways due to inflexible funding programs and were concerned about potential delays to innovation given the highly competitive environments for financing and patents.

The application of PRRAF is demonstrated using the case of a genetically engineered mosquito designed to kill its wild population and therefore decrease disease transmission. Assessments for regulatory approval of this genetically engineered insect fall short of several PPRAF criteria under the principles of humility, procedural validity, inclusion, anticipation, and reflexivity. With the emergence of GEOs designed to spread in ecosystems, such as those with gene drives, it will become increasingly important for regulatory agencies and technology developers to bolster their risk analysis methods and processes prior to field testing.

This study develops a Societal Risk Evaluation Scheme (SRES) in order to advance methods for anticipatory governance of emerging technologies such as SB. The SRES is based upon societal risk factors that were identified as important through a policy Delphi study. These factors range from those associated with traditional risk assessment, such as health and environmental consequences, to broader features of risk such as those associated with reversibility, manageability, anticipated levels of public concern, and uncertainty. A multi-disciplinary panel with diverse perspectives and affiliations assessed four case studies of SB using the SRES. Rankings of the SRES components are compared within and across the case studies. From these comparisons, we found levels of controllability and familiarity associated with the cases to be important for overall SRES rankings. From a theoretical standpoint, this study illustrates the applicability of the psychometric paradigm to evaluating SB cases. In addition, our paper describes how the SRES can be incorporated into anticipatory governance models as a screening tool to prioritize research, information collection, and dialogue in the face of the limited capacity of governance systems.

Only then will we be able to move past the inflamed and divisive rhetoric and enable safe, responsible, socially-desirable and appropriate use of genetic engineering.}, journal={WOMEN IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE AND FOOD BIOTECHNOLOGY: KEY ADVANCES AND PERSPECTIVES ON EMERGING TOPICS}, author={Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2017}, pages={85–96} } @article{kuzma_2016, title={A missed opportunity for US biotechnology regulation}, volume={353}, ISSN={["1095-9203"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84988383003&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1126/science.aai7854}, abstractNote={Policy options for change were not on the table}, number={6305}, journal={SCIENCE}, author={Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2016}, month={Sep}, pages={1211–1213} } @book{kuzma_2016, title={As technology advances, how do we avoid losing touch with our values?}, url={https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/12/technology-how-do-we-avoid-losing-values/}, journal={World Economic Forum}, author={Kuzma, J.}, year={2016} } @article{kuzma_kokotovich_kuzhabekova_2016, title={Attitudes towards governance of gene editing}, volume={18}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85026651835&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, number={1}, journal={Asian Biotechnology and Development Review}, author={Kuzma, J. and Kokotovich, A. and Kuzhabekova, A.}, year={2016}, pages={69–92} } @article{kuzma_rawls_2016, title={Engineering the Wild: Gene Drives and Intergenerational Equity}, volume={56}, number={3}, journal={Jurimetrics: The Journal of Law, Science and Technology}, author={Kuzma, J. and Rawls, L.}, year={2016}, pages={279–296} } @book{kuzma_2016, title={Future Generations and Gene Drives: the Importance of Intergenerational Equity}, url={https://www.humansandnature.org/future-generations-and-gene-drives}, journal={Questions for a Resilient Future: Center for Humans and Nature}, author={Kuzma, J.}, year={2016} } @article{kuzma_roberts_2016, title={Is adaptation or transformation needed?

As such, it is important to understand the factors that influence consumer desires for labeling and their willingness-to-buy (WTB) these food products. Using data from a national survey with US consumers, this study employs structural equation modeling to explore relationships between potential influences such as trust in government to manage technologies, views on restrictive government policies, perceptions about risks and benefits, and preferences for labeling on consumer's WTB genetically modified (GM) and nano-food products. Some interesting similarities and differences between GM- and nano-food emerged. For both technologies, trust in governing agencies to manage technologies did not influence labeling preferences, but it did influence attitudes about the food technologies themselves. Attitudes toward the two technologies, as measured by risk–benefit comparisons and comfort with consumption, also greatly influenced views of government restrictive policies, labeling preferences, and WTB GM or nano-food products. For differences, labeling preferences were found to influence WTB nano-foods, but not WTB GM foods. Gender and religiosity also had varying effects on WTB and labeling preferences: while gender and religiosity influenced labeling preferences and WTB for GM foods, they did not have a significant influence for nano-foods. We propose some reasons for these differences, such as greater media attention and other heuristics such as value-based concerns about "modifying life" with GM foods. The results of this study can help to inform policies and communication about the application of these new technologies in food products.}, number={7}, journal={JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH}, author={Yue, Chengyan and Zhao, Shuoli and Cummings, Christopher and Kuzma, Jennifer}, year={2015}, month={Jul} } @book{siplon_herring_kuzma_delborne_2015, place={Durham, NC}, title={SynBio 101 Screenplay Draft}, institution={Museum of Life and Science}, author={Siplon, G. and Herring, B. and Kuzma, J. and Delborne, J.}, year={2015} } @book{roberts_stauffer_cummings_kuzma_2015, title={Synthetic Biology Governance: Delphi Study Workshop Report}, url={research.ncsu.edu/ges}, number={#2015.2}, author={Roberts, J.P. and Stauffer, S. and Cummings, C and Kuzma, J.}, year={2015} } @article{kuzma_2015, title={Technology governance alternatives}, volume={32}, number={1}, journal={Issues in Science and Technology}, author={Kuzma, J.}, year={2015}, pages={10–11} } @misc{kuzma_2015, title={Technology governance alternatives}, volume={32}, number={1}, journal={Issues in Science and Technology}, author={Kuzma, J.}, year={2015}, pages={10–11} } @article{kuzma_roberts_2015, place={Washington DC}, title={Transformation or Adaptation: Active Nanomaterials and Risk Governance.

Through analysis of focus groups in six U.S. locations, we found that the vast majority of the participants wanted nanotechnology labels for all types of food products, and most were willing to pay a premium for labeling. Participants cited abilities to choose and avoid potential risk as the main purposes of nanofood labels. However, they recognized that labels alone do not provide much meaning and that information concerning food nanotechnology products needs to be sought and supplied beyond the label to enable informed choices.

Here, we describe two ways in which prospective oversight policy analysis for emerging technologies can draw upon these past experiences. One involves comparing specific products that have already been marketed to similar products of the emerging technology (cognate‐product approach). The other treats the emerging technology as a body of products and methods and relates it to another technological field that has already emerged and penetrated markets (whole‐technology approach). In this article, we describe our work using these approaches to inform risk and oversight policy for nanotechnology and its products. We draw parallels between biotechnology and nanotechnology as whole fields of development and also between genetically engineered organisms in the food supply and agricultural products of nanotechnology.

Reports from non‐governmental organizations, such as the ETC Group and the International Risk Governance Council, have recently been issued, but there have been few systematic analyses of the policy problems that we will likely face as this area develops. Biosecurity issues are the most defined; other societal oversight issues and implications have not been well explored. Although SB could assist in addressing pressing global challenges, such as sustainable and renewable energy, there are considerable societal concerns that accompany its development and applications. This article is designed to anticipate and prepare for these concerns by identifying policy problems associated with SB oversight, upstream of its development. Projected applications of SB are reviewed and a typology of them is developed. Key oversight policy problems are then identified based on historical experiences with other emerging technologies, such as nanotechnology and biotechnology. Problems associated with biosecurity, biosafety, intellectual property, and ethics are discussed in relation to the typology of SB applications to identify applications of the highest potential concern. Finally, policy options for SB oversight are considered, preventative to promotional. We propose that different categories of SB application may warrant different oversight regimes: there might not be an appropriate “one size fits all” approach. We stop short of making specific recommendations, but suggest that the typology, problems, and oversight options identified in this article be used as a starting point for deliberative, democratic decisionmaking processes that take into account a wide range of perspectives about risk, economic impact, scientific progress, and moral reasoning in the design of oversight systems.}, number={1}, journal={REGULATION & GOVERNANCE}, author={Kuzma, Jennifer and Tanji, Todd}, year={2010}, month={Mar}, pages={92–112} } @article{kuzma_meghani_2009, title={A possible change in the U.S. risk -based decision making for emerging technological products: Compromised or enhanced objectivity?}, volume={10}, journal={EMBO Reports}, author={Kuzma, J. and Meghani, Z.}, year={2009}, pages={1–6} } @inbook{kuzma_2009, title={Biotechnology}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84891036666&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1002/9781444310795.ch94}, abstractNote={This chapter contains sections titled: Decision-making about New Technologies Case Studies for Biotechnology Guidance from the Public References and Further Reading}, booktitle={A Companion to the Philosophy of Technology}, author={Kuzma, J.}, year={2009}, pages={523–531} } @inbook{kuzma_2009, title={Biotechnology: Technology and future, prosperity and risks}, booktitle={A Companion to the Philosophy of Technology}, publisher={Malden, MA : Wiley-Blackwell}, author={Kuzma, J.}, editor={Jan-Kyrre Berg Olsen, Stig Andur Pedersen and Hendricks, Vincent F.Editors}, year={2009} } @article{paradise_wolf_kuzma_kuzhabekova_tisdale_kokkoli_ramachandran_2009, title={Developing US Oversight Strategies for Nanobiotechnology: Learning from Past Oversight Experiences}, volume={37}, ISSN={["1748-720X"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-76149098834&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1111/j.1748-720x.2009.00441.x}, abstractNote={Devising appropriate oversight for nanotechnology is a challenge.

The investigators utilized expert elicitation and literature analysis to develop a structured survey to aid analysis of the successes and failures of these prior oversight regimes. The methodology is presented in the symposium and described in depth in additional team publications cited here. The survey instrument devised represents a significant new tool for evaluating science and technology oversight, including regulatory regimes. This symposium publishes the five historical case studies plus commentaries, an article co-authored by the investigators comparing across the five case studies to derive overarching lessons for nanobio oversight, and seven articles on cross-cutting ideas including nanobio governance and oversight, risk communication, and approaches to expert elicitation.

In this article, we develop an approach that blends risk analysis, social science, public administration, legal, public policy, and ethical perspectives to develop a broad set of criteria for assessing oversight systems. Multiple methods, including historical analysis, expert elicitation, and behavioral consensus, were employed to develop multidisciplinary criteria for evaluating oversight of emerging technologies. Sixty‐six initial criteria were identified from extensive literature reviews and input from our Working Group. Criteria were placed in four categories reflecting the development, attributes, evolution, and outcomes of oversight systems. Expert elicitation, consensus methods, and multidisciplinary review of the literature were used to refine a condensed, operative set of criteria. Twenty‐eight criteria resulted spanning four categories: seven development criteria, 15 attribute criteria, five outcome criteria, and one evolution criterion. These criteria illuminate how oversight systems develop, operate, change, and affect society. We term our approach “integrated oversight assessment” and propose its use as a tool for analyzing relationships among features, outcomes, and tradeoffs of oversight systems.

Media and growth effects on isoprene production were investigated: growth in rich media led to higher levels of isoprene than growth in minimal media, and highest isoprene emission rates were seen in log-phase cultures. Temperature profiles for bacterial isoprene production showed an optimum of 45 degrees C and were suggestive of an enzymatic mechanism for isoprene formation.}, number={2}, journal={Current Microbiology}, author={Kuzma, J. and Nemecek-Marshall, M. and Pollock, W.H. and Fall, R.}, year={1995}, pages={97–103} } @article{nemecek-marshall_wojciechowski_kuzma_silver_fall_1995, title={Marine Vibrio species produce the volatile organic compound acetone}, volume={61}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0028976291&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, number={1}, journal={Applied and Environmental Microbiology}, author={Nemecek-Marshall, M and Wojciechowski, C and Kuzma, J and Silver, GM and Fall, R}, year={1995}, pages={44–47} } @inproceedings{kuzma_fall_1994, title={Bacterial production of Isoprene}, booktitle={International Symposium on the Genetics of Microogranisms}, author={Kuzma, J. and Fall, R.}, year={1994} } @article{kuzma_fall_1994, title={Leaf isoprene emission rate is dependent on leaf development and the level of isoprene synthase (vol 101, pg 435, 1993)}, volume={106}, ISSN={["0032-0889"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0001127362&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1104/pp.101.2.435}, abstractNote={Isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) is a major volatile hydrocarbon produced by many plant species. Here we report that in velvet bean (Mucuna sp.), isoprene emission is strongly dependent on leaf developmental state and that changes in extractable isoprene synthase activity parallel isoprene emission rates during leaf development. Both leaf emission and enzyme activity exhibit over 100-fold increases from leaf emergence to leaf age 14 d and exhibit similar patterns to 23 d. This suggests that the enzyme, isoprene synthase, is responsible for the in vivo production of isoprene and that the level of the enzyme regulates the pattern of isoprene emission in response to leaf development.}, number={3}, journal={Plant Physiology}, author={Kuzma, J. and Fall, R.}, year={1994}, pages={1233–1233} }
