| description | In order to ensure continued supply to ever
-
growing population, especially in
developing and least developed countries, enough prod
uction of genetically modified
agricultural crops are sine qua non. It is for this reason that agricultural biotechnology
has been supplied priority and is getting all kinds of support from governments. But
almost all GM foods have their origin in western
countries, especially from a
multinational company by the name of Monsanto of the United States. These countries
are marking their GM products both at national and international levels. Although Islam
requires for all edibles to be permissible (halal) and
good for human consumption
(tayyib), which has been accentuated in form of the precautionary principle
–
which has
been enshrined in several international and national legal instruments, which has to be
observed by producing and importing countries and whi
ch has to be environmentally
friendly
–
but producing countries do not ensure the safety of biotech food. The
precautionary principle has further been strengthened by various Shari‘ah, principles.
This paper demonstrates the Islamic perspective of the prec
autionary principle and
argues for its internalization and practice in international trades in GMOs and GM food. |
