    • At some level action plans are needed and some flexibility. I am not an IRM person, but in working with Joe Huesing and speaking with others, some flexible options are needed that are practical for the region/governments impacted. some countries in Africa should be adopting some biotech varieties for combating FAW. Cry1Ab or Cry1Ac may have efficacy against the moths in some African countries. Some Bt crops are restricted due to legal constraints. I suggest that you do not need 5 year or 3 year or even 2 year safety studies on events approved in some other countries now, like Brazil and the United States. Simple dossier reviews should be all that is needed. And then some monitoring. The farmers also need access to small doses of safer insecticides. And some may rely at least partly on parasitoids. These can and should be used together. The more broad spectrum insecticides are not likely useful. Some varieties of maize may have some resistance, but not likely. What can governments in Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and other countries do to protect yields, farmer health and welfare and the safety of consumers? Maybe it is time to have open dialogue and rapid decision making. And part of it is costs. What costs do farmers have?

    • Interesting phenomena. The paper is from 2014. Will similar outcomes occur with the current strains of FAW now in Africa? I review safety of products for human consumption. There are many acceptable Bt maize products.

    • It is important to look at laboratory mechanisms of resistance and to field experiences. It seems there are good candidates that have been used in the Americas that have good efficacy. They need to be managed correctly. The genotypes of moth in Africa and Asia may not be as resistant as some in the Americas against some biotech traits. Clearly many of the BT crops are approved in various countries. The data needed to consider possible food risks and environmental risks are approved. Can these be used to fast-track approvals in African and Asian countries? No risks of food allergy or toxicity for human and mammalian consumers. No significant risk for environmental invertebrates. There are challenges with licensing and patent rights. And the traits need to be in plants that can grow in the specific environments in Africa and Asia, and they will differ in regions.
