"The new legislation has been widely criticized: NGT plants can now be brought to market without undergoing environmental risk assessment. Health risks will only be assessed in specific cases. There is no requirement for food product labelling or methods of detecting NGT plants. "

Enshittification of our food and farms: Patents and new GMOs
Bayer going after Pfizer for patent infringement is a forerunner for widespread abuse of intellectual property claims in food and farming if the planned GMO deregulation goes ahead.

President Lula’s administration has embraced the project, supporting major soy operators like Cargill, Bunge, and Amaggi. The railway’s studies and designs are included in the federal government’s Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), with a concession auction expected in 2026

@RadicalAnthro "A hybrid moa created through genetic engineering, she adds, would not be “a taonga [treasured] species, and it does not revive ancestral relationships with the moa just because it kind of resembles one.” Tech bros mi/billionaires have no idea what biosemiotics is but if they do they probably don't care

@yetiinabox "Across the 1705 papers, the effect of new vs. old pesticides was similar independent of which taxonomic groups (animals, plantsµorganisms)or which of their trait responses(growth, reproduction, behaviour and biomarker)were considered (...)There was, therefore, imited evidence that the negative environmental impact of pesticides on wider biodiversity has been reduced by the development and authorisation of novel active ingredients and formulations"

"As resistance rises, the use of synthetic insecticides often does as well, though such costs were not included in the potential losses the study attributed to over-planting." The costs of agrichemical use is never taken into account by agribussiness and the companies that produce them. The costs include a.o. health, social, water polution, soil depletion and are always externalized.

“Between 2010 and 2019 alone, Brazil’s Ministry of Health recorded pesticide poisonings of 56,870 people in the country. It is estimated that the cost to the Brazilian public health system [popularly known as SUS] for each case of poisoning is BRL150 [around US$24] per person. On the other hand, for every dollar spent on the purchase of agrochemicals, SUS is burdened by US$ 1,28 depending on the type of intoxication treatment,”

And that's how you come up with the #AntiLife equation (old comic book reference).
Creating ‘Mirror Life’ Could Be Disastrous, Scientists Warn
Breakthroughs in synthetic biology could create mirror versions of natural molecules, with devastating consequences for life on Earth
By Simon Makin
December 14, 2024"A category of synthetic organisms dubbed “mirror life,” whose component molecules are mirror images of their natural counterpart, could pose unprecedented risks to human life and ecosystems, according to a perspective article by leading experts, including Nobel Prize winners. The article, published in Science on December 12, is accompanied by a lengthy report detailing their concerns.
[...]
"In 2010 researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) in California installed synthetic DNA into a cell to create the first cell with a fully synthetic genome."

"Consistent with older research, even six months after the researchers stopped feeding the mice the pesticide, the high-levels of glyphosate caused the mice to develop brain inflammation and Alzheimer's-like changes.
However, the researchers found that there were similar, yet less pronounced, changes in the brains of the mice who were fed low doses of the chemical"

@cryptohagen "No one ever elected or appointed Gates to lead the world—on any topic. Yet through his great wealth, and his money-in-politics brand of philanthropy, he is able to buy a seat at the democratic decision-making table—-and, apparently, also buy diplomatic immunity." Really scary that the king of Philanthrocapitalism has also bought legal immunity.

The U.S.-Mexico Trade War Over Modified Corn Heats Up
A new govt in Mexico has pledged to carry on the fight to keep GM corn out of the national diet.
In its filings in the trade dispute, Mexico provided mountains of evidence from peer-reviewed literature that showed ample cause for concern about the risks of consuming GM corn and the residues of the herbicide glyphosate — most commonly known as Roundup — that often come with it.https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-us-mexico-trade-war-over-gm-corn-heats-up/

The productive lie of GM wheat HB4
Bioceres advertises HB4 wheat as "tolerant" to drought, with a more efficient speech based on a gene. The data disseminated, both by the company and by the State, show the opposite: non-GM wheats are more productive. An analysis from agronomic science gives an account of the risk of believing in entrepreneurial technoscience and magical discourses.

On 24 April 2024, all MEPs voted on two files that are absolutely essential for peasants’ rights on seeds and the future of European agriculture, in particular the GMO-free agricultural sector and peasant agroecology.
