Topic: 2024-GMOs and Food Security
Country: Syrian Arab Republic
Delegate Name: Ella Rose
In a world where GMOs are a huge threat to food security in every country, the Syrian Arab Republic has responded by banning GMOs in markets around the country to keep their people safe from this threat to food. The Syrian Arab Republic’s beliefs on GMOs are that it is a threat and harmful to people and food security. They have been a part of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety since 2004. This is an International agreement to make food transport safer, to protect foods from new biotechnology that isn’t good for the human body and not help keep biodiversity, which, if not maintained, can also damage the ecosystem.
The Syrian Arab Republic believes that this committee should be focusing on how to stop GMOs and the companies that produce these products, so we can get them off the agriculture market. Another topic of focus should be how to make food safer and get companies to be more reliable to not producing GMOs.
A solution that could contribute to the solution for stopping GMOs is to invest in green tech farming. Green tech farming is a more eco-friendly farming method to help stop the spread of GMOs and make sure that food production is monitored so that GMOs aren’t purposefully put in food. The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety is an international agreement to try and ensure the safety of Living Modified Organisms, also known as LMOs. This agreement would aid with efforts to control GMOs because they are very difficult to completely eliminate.
In conclusion, the Syrian Arab Republic would like to propose a UN promotion of the solution of Green tech farming to help the more desolate areas with farming, as well as helping with climate change, also it can help the safety of food production and keeping it safe from GMOs and other chemicals.
