In May 2010 the Centre for Society & Genomics, in collaboration with the ESRC Genomics Network and Valgen (Canada), held its biannual Conference on Society and Genomics in Amsterdam. The objective of the conference was to assess how the societal landscape of genomics had evolved since the sequencing of the human genome.

The ideas explored in the conference are reflected in this special issue. The articles are devoted to analysing the societal impact of genomics across the agricultural, the environmental, the urban and the industrial zones.
