The results of the application of modern

products (PRG). globally the use and distribution of
PRG is regulated by laws and regulations such as

FOOD SAFETY REVIEW OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED PRODUCTS
International legal arrangements began with holding a press conference on the human environment or the
United Nations conference on the environment which resulted in the Stockholm Declaration containing 24
environmental projections and 109 recommendations for action plans for the human environment. As soon as
the Stockholm conference was held, the Nairobi Conference was held in Kenya, which revealed that there
were still many challenges faced by recognizing the state of the environment in the world. after 10 years from
the Nairobi conference the United Nations again held the Rio conference with the topics raised namely
problems of pollution, climate change, depletion of the ozone layer, use and management of marine and water
resources, widespread deforestation, desertification and soil degradation, hazardous waste and depletion of
biodiversity biological
