#gmo — Public Fediverse posts

Malaysian farmers, consumer & environmental groups call for rejection of #GMO rice trial. 61 organisations object to proposed GMO field trial. A key concern is contamination of conventional & wild rice if open-field trial proceeds. Also concerned the #glyphosate-tolerant MR219 variety would encourage greater use of the herbicide, leading to residues entering harvested rice and wider food supply. Plus concerned about impact on soil microorganisms & paddy-field biodiversity https://www.businesstoday.com.my/2026/08/11/61-groups-object-to-proposed-trial-of-genetically-modified-rice-in-perak/

The GMO myth—cheaper food? Or deeper hunger, greater corporate power? #GMO crops & hi-tech intensive ag have been hyped as a solution to hunger in South Africa. But they've brought corporate enclosure, chemical dependency and tech dependence, says Mariam Mayet https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2026-08-05-the-gmo-myth-cheaper-food-deeper-hunger-greater-corporate-power/

GMO garden seeds—targeting home gardeners—are being sold in Canada for the very first time in 2026. In response, the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network (CBAN) has made this short video to help seed savers understand the issues, and to help seed swaps remain free from #GMO contamination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdkO_L3VI0s

23,000 people ask General Mills & other food companies to keep #GMO HB4 wheat out of the US food supply. HB4 wheat is a new GMO approved for use in the US, but not yet commercialised. It's resistant to glufosinate, a toxic herbicide that's banned in the EU https://foe.org/news/general-mills-gmo-wheat/

No more glowing bunnies — California bill targets sale of #GMO pets. California is considering a bill (AB 1382) that bans gene editing in pets for cosmetic purposes. The animal advocacy group Social Compassion in Legislation is sponsoring the legislation https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Call-to-Action-for-AB-1382--AB-1722-Unfortunately-Moves-Forward--Laguna-Beach-Hiring-Animal-Shelter-Manager-.html?soid=1101925750350&aid=rV8hzQ3tKAk

Pakistan: #GMO maize committee composition draws scrutiny. The committee’s mandate is supposedly to provide an “impartial, scientific and evidence-based” assessment of #GMO maize commercialisation—but the committee is heavily tilted in favour of the biotech industry. https://www.thenews.pk/print/1425823-gmo-maize-committee-composition-draws-scrutiny

Critics say Argentine #GMO HB4 wheat is a “failure” and cannot withstand drought. Yet its creator has been given an award for “contributing to global food security” with her “drought-tolerant” GMOs! https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20688

#MissKittyPolitics cuz food matters.
No. Wrong answer. Unless the companies are willing to sign over all ownership of the #Patents to the government. #Food belongs to the people, not to companies, and #GMO #Privatizes food. So no. Wrong #Technology. We do not submit to #Oligarch ownership of food.

Twenty-one Italian organizations denounce the #GMO deregulation vote as a 25-year step backwards: eliminating risk assessment, traceability, and labeling requirements, while enabling further concentration of the seed market in the hands of a few multinational corporations. https://gmwatch.org/en/106-news/latest-news/20682

Bad news. Don't mess with nature. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/economy/article/2026/06/17/european-parliament-greenlights-new-generation-of-gmos_6754589_19.html #gmo #food

ARCHE NOAH reminds the European Commission that the Commission’s own study on #patents, published in November 2025, warns that patents on new #GMO (NGT) plants threaten the future of independent plant breeding in Europe. “We will not give up. This is about nothing less than control over our food.”

Das EU-Parlament hat den Weg dafür freigemacht, Gene zwischen eng verwandten Pflanzen zu transferieren. Forscher, die Kulturpflanzen gegen Krankheiten und Klimawandel schützen wollen, begrüßen die Neuerung.

Argentinian genetically modified wheat is a "failure" and ultimately cannot withstand drought, according to experts. And, as well as not being drought-resistant, #GMO HB4 wheat also has low productivity and puts other crops at risk. https://economiasustentable.com/noticias/polemica-en-el-agro-aseguran-que-el-trigo-transgenico-argentino-es-un-fracaso-y-al-final-no-resiste-la-sequia/
