Mexican beekeepers win fight against Monsanto! After the evidence, a permit issued allowing Roundup-ready soybean production in the Yucatan has been overturned. The threat GM soybeans pose to the bees and honey production is unacceptable. Sweet victory! #NoOGM #SaludableMexico

Is a seed still a seed if it can’t create life? Enter big organizations and seed patents. In an effort to ‘protect’ GMO seeds intellectual property, so called suicide seeds are manipulated to die after germination. Thus, said harvest cannot be resown and bring new life.

This image from our GMO2.0 campaign is now reality. Conscious™ Greens - GE green and purple salad - coming early 2023. IRT is working to compile information to present in answer to the EO that will form the future of GMO2.0s in the US. We need your help. responsibletechnology.org/donate/

Kenyan gov. passed legislation allowing import of GMOs. But with several high profile lawsuits, GMOs have been halted. Similarly, an EO has been issued that will form safety regulations - or not - of GMOs in the US. Become a voice for change. Join us at responsibletechnology.org.

If you were waiting for someday to get around to saving the planet…today is someday. The US gov has asked for input that will either exclude GE from regulatory oversight, or create stronger regulations. Please consider a recurring donation responsibletechnology.org/donate/ #GivingTuesday

GMO 2.0 can replace nature. Full Stop. The potential for catastrophic results is overwhelming. This is why IRT is launching a global GMO 2.0 campaign to properly regulate gene editing. Please consider supporting our important work for 2023. responsibletechnology.org/donate/

According to the WHO, vitamin A deficiency is one of the most important issues for public health. Enter ‘Golden Rice’. It is a GMO rice made with vitamin A. But wait for it. One has to eat 4 kgs of cooked rice for the same benefit 1 carrot or a teaspoon of parsley would provide.

That’s my plant! Is it ethical or even possible to claim ownership of both naturally occurring and genetically manipulated mutations in plants? Well, that’s what global giants like Bayer-Monsanto are attempting to do in order to control the market. Nature can’t be patented.

Kenya is the latest to green light GE crops. With soaring food prices and drought, they hope GE can pull them out. It doesn’t look good - big agriculture has been shown to exacerbate poverty of small farmers, increase corporate control, & degrade the environment from pesticides.

Did you know that Europe has reduced its active substances in pesticide chemicals by 50 percent? It might not look like a clear win, but by safer practices, the health and safety of the consumer is starting to be put first. We are so glad to see news like that!

Biotech lobbies for de-regulation of GE crops, claiming GE can solve food crisis. But what if it just isn’t true? Makers of GE soybeans touted to be higher in oleic acid have delayed launch, low crop yield, plummeting market shares and little revenue, what does GE have to show?

They’ve been telling us that GE food can't be regulated because differences are undetectable to organic. Now, within a biodefense context, such a technology exists to detect GE changes. Insurance of their investment, making sure that their patented creations are not stolen. 🤔

As an authority for US dietary guidelines, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics sponsors - Bayer, Coca Cola - are, well, questionable. Corporate sponsorship equals corporate advocacy. In partnership with Kraft, the Academy gave Kraft singles a nutrition seal for children. Eek!?

'Chinese scientists create the first mammal with fully reprogrammed genes.' A mouse now exists with 19 sets of chromosomes instead of the 20 mice have had since...forever. GE is advancing everyday. With nearly no regulation, we should expect the worst. responsibletechnology.org/gene-editing/

If big companies lack oversight and regulations of GMO's and GE for public safety, what about so-called bio-hackers? DIY CRISPR sets available for just $30, and regular Joe's can start snipping DNA sequences willy-nilly. Frankenstein anybody? Video at: responsibletechnology.org/gene-editing/
