On GMOs, there's a lot of valid concern on things like RoundUp Ready Corn increasing cancer rates even more while doing more ecological damage and polluting saved seeds with "intellectual property" which Monsanto drug small farmers to court over and won. Right winger arguments being ignorant and invalid doesn't erase valid concerns. As often is the case, corporations are the problem, not technologies. Subtooting. #gmo
"Maddie Hall, who worked on special projects at OpenAI, founded Living Carbon. This public benefit company aims to combat climate change by genetically enhancing trees to capture and store more CO2. Living Carbon has raised $36 million from Felicis."

Or you could, you know, just put all that money into getting more trees planted. Setting up local nurseries for eco-sourced varieties, acquiring marginal land for reserves, etc.
Are GMOs Good or Bad? Genetic Engineering & Our Food
The #glyphosate weedkillers used on 80% plus of #GMO crops cause multiple types of cancer, international study reveals. #Leukemia findings are especially striking — potentially supporting lawsuits by plaintiffs alleging Roundup exposure caused their blood #cancer. https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20557-international-study-reveals-glyphosate-weedkillers-cause-multiple-types-of-cancer
New report shows dismal market reality of New GMOs. Despite all the hype and the political pressure to deregulate these genetically engineered crops, only three New GMOs are being cultivated and not a single crop has contributed to sustainability goals. #GMO https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20556-new-report-shows-dismal-market-reality-of-new-gmos
US farmers are planting too much #GMO Bt maize, leading to galloping pest resistance. A recent study reaches damning conclusions about the failure of the technology — but an agricultural expert says the reality is far worse. https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20555
Norway's Parliament revises #GMO law, retains precautionary stance. Risk assessment, traceability and labelling are still mandatory for all GMOs, including gene-edited ones. Under the revised law, no application for GMO field trials is possible without a health and environmental risk assessment. "It is also of fundamental importance that consumers and producers retain the right and opportunity to choose GMO-free alternatives." https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20554-norway-s-parliament-revises-gmo-law-retains-precautionary-stance
#GMO crops fuel rise in pesticide use despite early promises, study shows https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20553-gm-crops-fuel-rise-in-pesticide-use-despite-early-promises-study-shows
Seed Keepers and Truth Tellers: From the Frontlines of #GMO Agriculture. Animated short video tells the story of GMO #seeds and the toxic chemicals that go with them from the point of view of impacted farmers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcUA8U2pXYA&t=1s
CRISPR: India's #GMO Rice Faces Licensing Challenges. Good article on how using patented #CRISPR technology will entail huge costs (though it fails to investigate the misleading spin about the safety of gene-edited crops and their involving no foreign DNA) https://www.downtoearth.org.in/agriculture/is-indias-crispr-feat-with-rice-well-worth-the-effort
El #DiaMundialdelasAbejas 🐝más que una celebración es un recordatorio de que urge transformar los sistemas agroalimentarios Tenemos que avanzar en el escalamiento de la #agroecología y las agriculturas #SinTóxicos
Es indignante que empresas de #agrotóxicos conmemoren este día Son estas, en complicidad con gobiernos e instancias internacionales que permiten la venta y uso de #PAP y#OGM, las responsables del decaimiento de las poblaciones de insectos #ecocidio
In Symbiosis | An incisive and inspiring new film showcases what's wrong with our food and farming system (including the #GMO and #pesticides treadmill) and how we can put it right. Features interviews with experts from across the world, including regenerative farmers, molecular geneticist Prof Michael Antoniou, @GMWatch's Claire Robinson, and Dr Vandana Shiva | World premiere: 33rd #Raindance Film Festival (2025) in London 24 and 25 June — book your tickets now! https://raindance.eventive.org/films/in-symbiosis-6821cb2667953a89ffd6b139
The UK govt promises industry that regulators will never find out if a “new #GMO” harms health or the environment. “The govt’s banning regulators from requiring any tests that could reveal risks arising from these gene-edited #GMOs goes against every scientific principle.” — Professor Michael Antoniou, King’s College London https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20550-uk-government-promises-industry-it-will-never-find-out-if-a-new-gmo-harms-health-or-environment
Patented #CRISPR pigs can now be commercialised in the USA. Is the #Monsanto effect looming in animal breeding? With its new patented pigs, Genus—already considered one of the largest companies in the sector—could considerably expand its dominance. #GMO https://testbiotech.org/en/news/is-the-monsanto-effect-now-looming-in-animal-breeding/

Mutant rice and Bill Gates’s lab rats: Grand experiments in India’s fields. India’s embrace of gene-edited crops, encouraged by Gates & co and facilitated by compromised regulatory authorities, is a case of corporate capture and regulatory subversion. #GMO https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20546
