#ngts — Public Fediverse posts

NGTs, new genomic techniques, are advanced methods that allow scientists to make precise changes to the DNA of plants and microorganisms.

> As the EU debates the future of New Genomic Techniques, one thing must remain non-negotiable: freedom of choice. We ask policymakers to protect all actors across the food chain. Let's ensure the final legislation safeguards transparency, coexistence and fairness. #NGTs #IFOAMOrganicsEurope See less

🤯 Despite no support from 9 EU countries, Council just voted to scrap safety rules & consumer labels for new & patented GMOs by Bayer etc. #NGTs ⛔ The EU Parl demands for labeling and against patents were not upheld. 📣 EP has final chance to repair, take action: corporateeurope.org/en/2026/04/t...

Using #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs] to manipulate plant flowers so that they can be pollinated by robots?

This is just one of many examples of attempts to genetically modify plant flowers...

Eilmeldung: Der Rat hat der EU-#Gentechnikreform zugestimmt - jetzt ist das Parlament am Zug.

Die Mitgliedstaaten unterstützen die Deregulierung neuer genomischer Techniken (#NGTs) - ohne umfassende Risikoprüfung, ohne durchgehende Kennzeichnungspflicht oder Patentschutzregeln.

Jetzt müssen wir im Parlament gegenhalten - für Transparenz, Wahlfreiheit, Saatgutvielfalt und den Schutz gentechnikfreier Landwirtschaft.

📣 #NewGMOs: Consumer organisations call on EU to "defend the right of consumers to know what they eat and their freedom of choice." #NGTs Biotech industry pressure is massive. But European Parliament should uphold position that consumers have right to know! www.brusselstimes.com/opinions/179...

(3/3) New genomic techniques #NGTs could boost the scalability, resilience & productivity of #protein & other crop production, but realizing this potential requires the adoption of a science-based #regulations along with better information dissemination: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... #plantbreeding

👀 Food labels allow us to choose what's in the food we eat, e.g. if they contain GMOs✔️
💼 But EU politicians are discussing ending the labelling of most #NewGMOs #NGTs ❌
✊ We demand that politicians defend our freedom of choice and keep ALL GMOs labelled! #NoGMOsInMyFood

👉 What's on the EU lobby menu today? Luncheon by MEP Andriukaitis (former Health Commissioner) to promote #NGTs for claimed "consumer benefits". Surprise: No consumers in the room! Organised with Plants for the Future ETP involving the biotech industry. corporateeurope.org/en/2021/03/d...

Derailing EU rules on new GMOs...

Protest today in Brussels in front of the 🇪🇺EU Parliament — one day before the vote on the negotiating mandate on #NewGMOs (#NGTs) — demanding strong safeguards for farmers, consumers and the environment. Deregulation of new GMOs would mean a sell out of our food system to corporations. Our message to the EU Parliament: Vote for consumer labelling, for a ban on patents on crops (which will increase dependence on Bayer, BASF, Syngenta and Corteva), and for environmental safety checks.

Muy recomendable escuchar a @jmmulet @ibmcp comparecer en el Senado ante la Comisión de Agricultura, Ganadería y Alimentación, explicando a políticos las #NGTs y las nuevas plantas que pueden obtenerse con #CRISPR que siguen todavía bloqueadas en Europa.

#NGTs. Gli Stati membri UE hanno infine deciso di concludere i negoziati per de-regolamentare al più presto i nuovi #OGM, nonostante le perplessità scientifiche espresse anche dall’Agenzia francese per la sicurezza alimentare. A quali condizioni, e perché tanta fretta? Alcuni spunti di riflessione.
