Bt proteins such as Vip3Aa are commonly used in #GMcrops to control lepidopteran #pests, but Vip3Aa resistance has been observed. This study identifies a gene in the crop pest #Helicoverpa armigera #CottonBollworm whose disruption confers resistance to Vip3Aa @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4kBtD89

Shocking - but not surprising - example of 'regulatory capture' where industry (pesticides and GM crops in this case) does whatever it takes to co-opt the supposed regulating agencies - in this case US Dept of Agriculture and USAid (to capture African markets)

Mexico rejects US GM corn with its herbicide residues.
“The US is, in effect, asking Mexico to trust the completeness and accuracy of the initial GE corn safety assessments carried out 15 to 30 years ago by the companies working to bring GE corn events to market.…The Mexican government is both wise and on solid ground in refusing to allow its people to participate in the experiment that the US government is seeking to impose on Mexico.”

Natural GM crops: grasses take evolutionary shortcut by borrowing genes from their neighbours

Grasses transfer genes from their neighbours in the same way genetically modified crops are made, a new study has revealed.

Toxins from the pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis are used to kill crop pests, but evidence in fruit flies suggests they can also target the intestines of non-target animal species. #GMCrops #GeneticModification #Genetics #Agriculture

We have seen with our own eyes the #health benefits of choosing #certifiedOrganic and #ethical #food.

When #SouthAustralia declared their moratorium against #GMcrops would be lifted, boost the use of toxic #herbicides and #pesticides in #Australia we became highly concerned.

We've just learned that the 11 councils on the mainland that applied to keep the ban in place were all rejected. Terrible news.

SouthAustralia was the last state in Australia exporting cleaner, healthier food and…(1/2)
