Virtually every single person with an ounce of common sense knows that nothing can be substituted for organic foods. We have seen over the past decades that genetically modified organism has been big business, and that the industry is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. As we have reported last September, Monsanto is pretty big on buying scientists and manipulating the evidence about GMO, pesticides, etc. We are now learning that Bill Gates is planning to capitalize on GMO. The fact that Bill Gates is pushing for deregulation means that he has some devious intention. This next article explains why. ....
by Colin Todhunter / April 10th, 2021 The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and an assortment of high-profile figures and policy makers are pushing for unregulated gene-editing technologies, the rollout of bio-synthetic food created in laboratories, the expanded use of patented seeds and the roll back of subsidies and support for farmers in places like India. These neoliberal evangelists despise democracy and believe that state machinery and public money should only facilitate the ambitions of their unaccountable mega-corporations. Corporations are jumping on the ‘sustainability’ bandwagon by undermining traditional agriculture and genuine sustainable agrifood systems and packaging this corporate takeover of food as some kind of humanitarian endeavour. ....
These neoliberal evangelists despise democracy and believe that state machinery and public money should only facilitate the ambitions of their unaccountable mega-corporations. Corporations are jumping on the ‘sustainability’ bandwagon by undermining traditional agriculture and genuine sustainable agrifood systems, and packaging this corporate takeover of food as some kind of humanitarian endeavour. The watchdog organisation Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO) notes that the European Commission has committed to a fundamental shift away from industrial agriculture. With a 50 per cent pesticide reduction target and a 25 per cent organic agriculture goal by 2030, CEO argues that business as usual is no longer an option. In effect, this creates an existential crisis for corporate seed suppliers and pesticide manufacturers like Bayer, BASF, Corteva (DowDupont) and Syngenta (ChemChina). ....
Small changes made with gene editing cause severe deformities in plants LATEST VIDEOS Small changes made with gene editing cause severe deformities in plants Details New study points to unintended effects of gene editing in plants and potential negative effects on ecosystems Gene editing causes drastic unwanted effects in gene-edited plants including severe deformities, a new scientific publication in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe shows. This is the case even when the changes are intended by the gene editor to be small tweaks to existing genes rather than, for example, the introduction of new genetic material. More broadly, the study provides an overview of the negative effects on ecosystems that can result from the release of gene-edited plants. These unintended effects result from the intended changes induced by genome editing, which can affect various metabolic processes in the plants. ....
