ABSTRACT

This chapter relates agrobiodiversity and agroecology in the context of genetically modified organism (GMO) regulation. Selected aspects and consequences of GMO-centric agriculture are compared and explained in terms of their potential to halt or promote food integrity. Through the examples of pollinator protection, invasive species control, and GMO regulatory policy, this chapter brings together various methods of bringing public law to the forefront in the struggle toward achieving food integrity. This chapter begins with the federal food safety regulatory shortcomings of invasivorism and continues, with proposed regulatory improvements. Then, it discusses food safety obstacles of regulating of invasive species. Ultimately, the chapter concludes with future considerations for invasivorism as a pest -management strategy (IPMS) to protect agrobiodiversity in global trade. Overall, invasivorism may be a proactive method of decimating pests without resorting to chemical and synthetic pesticides, and it would even add to a varied, locally sourced diet;, protect agrobiodiversity;, and potentially be entertaining, but. Tthere are, however, several obstacles in linking pest -management to food safety within invasivorism.
