The Nuffield Council, an independent body that examines ethical issues raised by new developments in biological and medical research, has established a Working Party to consider the issues raised by New Approaches to Biofuels. These include questions regarding environmental and food security, intellectual property, human rights, R&D, investment, policy and governance. The Working Party would very much like to hear your views on these issues.
Background information and the consultation questions can be found at: https://consultation.nuffieldbioethics.org.
The deadline for responses is 15 March 2010. All responses will be considered by the Working Party, and a report will be published during winter 2010/2011.
