ABSTRACT
Ironically, some Green lobbying has led to regulations that will harm the environment. For example, the Convention on Biological Diversity supplants US regulations on biotechnology products with unscientific and more burdensome international regulations. Henry Miller, Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, says that such limits will significantly hamper research capable of supplying ‘more plentiful and nutritious foods and biological alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilizers’. The effect – more land goes under the plough, potentially reducing the area of important ecosystems.
