I have an opportunity to make an impact upon a set of decision makers that
could result in greater opportunities and funding for sustainable
agriculture and food systems. I would very much appreciate any bit of
assitance you would offer.
I am looking for research results that demonstate the effect of food
production methods (animal hormones, pesticides, GMO's, feed lots, storage,
food transport) on food quality and diet and health of consumers. I
prefer jounal articles, symposia proceedings, government reports, or NGO
research reports. References to very good news paper articles or magazine
stories may also be helpful.
An example might be studies done that confirm increased occurence of food
allergies stemming from gmo's. Another may be levels of toxic pesticide
residues on food and its effect on children and adults.
I realize that not a lot of research has been done that makes the
connection between food production methods and consumer health, however,
this is the type of information I need.
If you know of 1, 2 or 3 references please email me directly
(fiskjohn@pilot.msu.edu). I will gather up the responses and post them to
SANET for the benefit of all. This is the type of info we need to
influence policy and reseach agendas.
I appreciate your time and effort.
