🚨 Our latest newsletter is out. In it some key updates on political developments in Brussels and the Non-GMO crop Market. Here's the state of play 🧵...

🚨 82% of Danes say NO to New GMO deregulation – but their gov is pushing for it anyway. As EU trilogue talks heat up, new poll by @eko.org shows public wants strict rules, labels & traceability. Via @gmwatch.bsky.social gmwatch.org/en/106-news/...

New #GMO myth busted 💥 A new report finds #geneedited crops in the UK have failed to deliver on speed – the very promise used to push deregulation. In fact, conventional breeding often got there faster. 👉 beyond-gm.org/turbo-chargi...

⚠️ AI-designed insecticidal NGT maize raises red flags. New paper warns: EU plans to skip risk assessment for NGTs with <20 edits are not scientifically justified. 🧬 Potential toxicity, resistance in pest insects & unintended effects. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pla...

🚨 A new legal analysis warns that inconsistent #patent rules + deregulating new GMOs (#NGTs) could hand control of key plant traits to a few big firms. Small breeders + farmers risk getting lost in a growing patent thicket 🌱🧩 More via GM Watch: gmwatch.org/en/106-news/...

Trilogue talks on #NGTs resume tomorrow We urge EU policymakers to: ✔️ Guarantee traceability ✔️ Guarantee labelling ✔️ Ensure detection methods ✔️ Establish coexistence measures No freedom of choice without traceability and labelling. #EUFood #GMO #SaveNonGMO

🇪🇺 Experts call for transparency on #NewGMO laws at Anuga 🚨 At the VLOG event, concerns were raised over EU plans to deregulate NGTs. 🗣️ “No innovation will gain acceptance if it's hidden from consumers.” Recap via @foodingredients.bsky.social 🔗 www.foodingredientsfirst.com/news/anuga-n...

🇦🇹 Did you know Austria was the first country to launch a Non-GMO label—driven by citizen demand? In 1997, 1.23M people (1/4 of voters!) signed a referendum against GMOs. Today, entire sectors like dairy, eggs & poultry are Non-GMO. A model for Europe? 🔗 www.enga.org/newsdetails/... #NonGMO #Austria

📬 In this month’s ENGA newsletter: 🇦🇹 Austria’s #NonGMO success story celebrated at GMO Free Weeks. 🧬 EU scientists step forward in detecting #NewGMOs — but developer data needed to use the method for other NGTs. Will policymakers act? 🔗 enga.org/enga-newslet...

🇩🇪 In Germany, meat has an animal husbandry label — but most people don't know it also includes criteria on Non GMO feed 🐷 79% would like to be able to recognise Non GMO products when shopping. - from @ohnegentechnik.bsky.social 🔗 www.ohnegentechnik.org/en/news/arti...

📢 To French speakers: We highly recommend "OMG, Decoding Biotech", @infogm.bsky.social's new #podcast investigating the promises & risks of biotechnologies (like #newGMOs). Available on all platforms!👇 #biotech #GMOs #NGT

What do Austrians think about #NewGMOs? 🇦🇹 A new survey shows: ✅ 76.6% say #NonGMO is key to buying decisions 🚨 79.7% fear the EU’s proposed NGT law threatens consumer rights 📢 85%+ want clear labelling & strict regulation of #NGTs www.enga.org/newsdetails/...

💚 Happy #EUOrganicDay! 💚 Organic farmers help keep our food, soil & ecosystems healthy 👩‍🌾🌱 🚫 Did you know? #GMOs, old and new, are banned in #organicfarming. That’s why the #organic sector backs strong GMO traceability & labelling.

Dear Mr. Canfin, our agriculture also needs protection from unwanted contamination from new GMOs. Please stand up for stand up for the @europarl.europa.eu’s position in Trilogue

In addition, farmers are facing more problems: Scrapping safety rules for NGT crops will cause a flood of patented crops, harming farmers and benefiting a few big biotech corporations. #Nopatentonseeds Dear Mr Canfin, as Shadow, will you strongly defend the EP position to opposing patents on crops?

🧵 What do Austrian consumers think about #GMOs? 🧐 New research from ARGE Gentechnik-frei shows that in 🇦🇹 Austria, a massive 76.6% of people say #GMOfree production is an important factor when buying food. 🛒

🌱 Did you know organic breeding is driving innovation in farming? @organicseurope.bsky.social's new #OrganicDelivers campaign highlights the social, economic & environmental benefits of #organicfarming 👩‍🌾 www.organicseurope.bio/news/ifoam-o...

🚨 What’s at stake with the EU’s push to deregulate New GMOs? 👉 Freedom of choice! Two young #organic farmers are calling on the EU + German gov to protect #GMO transparency. 📝 Sign the petition (DE): weact.campact.de/petitions/ne... #SaveNonGMO #NGTs #OrganicFarming

This finding may seem surprising. Only 3 GMOs/NGTs are currently being cultivated and their harvest commercialized. The many promises of their benefits would suggest that these “miracle” products would have been more widely adopted. Clearly, this is not the case. infogm.org/en/only-thre...
