US chemical giant to stop producing herbicide called ‘toxic cocktail’ by critics. Corteva will discontinue Enlist Duo—a mixture of Agent Orange and #glyphosate for use on #GMO crops, but another of its herbicides will still use Vietnam war-era defoliant. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Public trust in science and technology is a serious, growing problem, especially now. Instead of trying to solve it with better communication, we should adopt a more inclusive approach to innovation that takes low-tech, incremental, and system-wide solutions seriously. My new piece @science.org 👇🏽🧵

Here's our latest GMO Review, which takes in the bad news on new GMOs, and the good news on GMO bans and restrictions, as well as victories for seed sovereignty🌱🎉 Also, the shocking human costs of a major #GMO failure, and our latest LOBBYWATCH🕵️reports. gmwatch.org/en/main-menu...

Judge Salas is concerned that the release of the world's first approved #GMO wheat could lead to irreversible contamination of non-GMO wheat. Also concerned about its impact in combo with its associated agrochem, glufosinate—a herbicide more toxic than #glyphosate and banned in the European Union.

Italy's ban on cultivating #GMO corn legitimate says EU court. Court endorses procedure that enables Member States to prohibit GMOs. www.ansa.it/english/news...

Two companies control most #GMO seed #patents: Bayer and Corteva. They own just under 80% of them and also control large swaths of pesticide markets. Result: less innovation in the industry, and fewer choices and higher seed prices for farmers, says the USDA investigatemidwest.org/2024/12/16/g...

Court in Buenos Aires province issues temporary ban on HB4 GMO wheat, prioritizing the protection of the natural world. The judge says in his ruling that the #GMO wheat company Bioceres could cause "serious and irreversible harm" to human health and the environment.

Coming to your neighbourhood soon? Seriously risky outdoor gene editing. Some scientists who argue for deregulation deny outdoor gene editing is possible. But patents and the scientific literature tell a very different story. gmwatch.org/en/106-news/...

Sci­ent­ists aim to train bod­ies via gene therapy to make their own Ozempic. As well as the huge expense: “The drugs, you can stop.

EPA set to reapprove #dicamba — previously banned by courts. The EPA has approved dicamba twice before (for over-the-top use on #GMO dicamba-tolerant crops), and both times federal courts vacated those approvals, saying the risk of drift and harm to neighboring farms and gardens was too great.

Israel's white phosphorus is US-made. Monsanto—now Bayer—is the sole producer of white phosphorus in the US. Instead of selling it directly to the US govt, Monsanto collaborates with the distributor Israel Chemical Ltd, now known as ICL Group, which operates from St Louis, Missouri, like #Monsanto.

The genetics of many diseases thought to have simple causes—a mutation in a single gene—might be a lot more complex than previously thought. "We're in an era of discovering a lot more about the complexity of our genomes," says Professor of Human Genetics Anna Murray. @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social

A supposed benefit of #GMO crops is a reduction in insecticide use on corn. In reality, corn seeds engineered to kill certain insect pests—AKA Bt corn—have been treated with #neonics, which harm crucial pollinator species, the wider environment and possibly even humans. phys.org/news/2026-01...

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.

Court in Buenos Aires province issues temporary ban on HB4 GMO wheat, prioritizing the protection of the natural world. The judge says in his ruling that the #GMO wheat company Bioceres could cause "serious and irreversible harm" to human health and the environment.

Opinion: The EPA under Lee Zeldin is "MAHA-washing" dangerous pesticides. Nathan Donley of the @biologicaldiversity.org warns dicamba approval threatens farms, gardens, and public health while pretending to follow science. ⤵️ www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/comi...

Mexico's Demanda Colectiva Maíz wins legal victory in the fight for food sovereignty🌽 ⚖️ Court says govt must respond to their demand that Mexico countersue the US under the USMCA for: ❌Lack of risk analyses and scientific studies demonstrating the safety of consuming #GMO maize ❌Biased assessments

⛔ A majority of ENVI members in the EU Parliament today voted yes to deregulate new GMOs. This means to sell out consumer & farmer rights, health/env safety, the interests of independent seed companies.. to a handful of pesticide producers. 👉 The bulk is from Conservatives (PPE) and far right (PfE)

Important article from @gmwatch.bsky.social on a recent study highlighting the risks of outdoor genetic engineering and the potential impacts on non-target species—including humans

Bayer wants legal immunity from being sued by those it harms, even though Bayer and its subsidiary #Monsanto have aggressively pursued others, including farmers, through the courts! Here's the latest example. sharylattkisson.com/2026/01/baye...

No more Canadian bacon. This is so shameful. There is no more certain admission of guilt that this is a bad product than refusing to label. If they believed in their product they would advertise it loudly.

Limagrain—a French multinational seed company—has signed a partnership agreement with ADQ, an Emirati sovereign wealth fund. This has resulted in the creation of a joint venture that includes a research unit focused on new GMOs—gene editing. Limagrain has long pushed GMOs. infogm.org/en/limagrain...

Outrage at European science center as director fired after study on #glyphosate. The dismissal of Dr. Daniele Mandrioli and the suspicion that it is tied to his work on glyphosate, has roiled scientific circles. www.thenewlede.org/2026/01/outr...

Prof. Michael Antoniou of Kings College London: The latest evidence shows the levels of #glyphosate exposure considered safe are not safe—and that's been highlighted graphically in a recent cancer study which showed what regulators consider safe is highly carcinogenic. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

MAHA has been played. The very voters who turned out to demand safer food and water have been handed a policy agenda that protects the poisoners.

It’s only Roundup: #Glyphosate’s safety myth. The recently retracted glyphosate safety paper was only exposed because individuals exercised their right to hold pesticide companies accountable through the courts by bringing cases using failure to warn arguments. www.panna.org/news/glyphos...

Bayer really seem to have a hard-on for genocide. Previously, as part of the IG Farben conglomerate, they were up to their necks in the crimes of Nazi Germany - e.g. conducting medical experiments in Auschwitz, producing gas, etc. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/a...

BAYER donations to Trump pay off/The Supreme Court followed Trump AG's recommendation to consider BAYER's request for legal immunity.
