Abstract

It is twenty years since the precautionary principle appeared on the normative scene, first for matters of environment and natural resources, then for questions of food safety and public health. It is fifteen years since GMOs were set on the public regulation agenda because of their potential risks for Health and Environment. Specific mechanisms of expertise and assessment have been set within the framework of authorisation procedures considering their cultivation. Research in Social Science has accompanied this public interest for risks, whether scientists have been puzzled by the arisen stakes of assessment and regulation, attracted by controversies and conflicts or approached in order to help public and private deciders to better understand society problems and reactions. Scientists from INRA or partners have contributed to these works. A selection of their problematic and results is presented in this file. These contributions have inspired me different thoughts for the future. Scientists, officials in charge of scientific policy and members of the civil society may find here ideas for propositions to be debated for the continuation of research.
