And consequences for health and environment, that may take years to emerge and their impacts into varieties of food species can be permanent. So slow down until we can establish how safe they really are.

Rules? What of regs, sound science, protection of people, evidence of harm if it is there? These gene constructs of Cisgenic origins, are of no more stability, than Trangeic constructs, they replaced. All interventions into genomes have unknown side effects & instabilities

As the EU debates the future of New Genomic Techniques, one thing must remain non-negotiable: freedom of choice.
We ask policymakers to protect all actors across the food chain. Let's ensure the final legislation safeguards transparency, coexistence and fairness.

We're celebrating! 🎉🎉 We've had a significant win in our high court challenge the precision bred GMO regulations. The court has ruled that the Defra Minister's decision not to label PBOs in the food chain was unlawful. Read the full story: beyond-gm.org/victory-high-c…

Time is running out! Judicial reviews are complex, time consuming and expensive. But they can also create change. That's why we are challenging the hidden GMOs in our farming and food system. Read more about our case and why people are supporting us. If you agree that GMOs should be visible and traceable in our food system help us keep going by contributing to our legal fund today. crowdjustice.com/case/stop-h…

CEO of Sustainable Food Trust asks: "... here is what I find genuinely shocking, and what I think demands an honest reckoning. Where are the voices against #GMO?"

We do NOT need gene edited citrus to beat citrus greening. We need to stop spraying herbicides all around the root of the trees, destroying the soil and natural immunity. THAT is why greening has killed the majority of the orange crop. Happy to provide a tour of examples!

Over the past couple of decades, citrus greening has been devastating for America’s citrus growers, especially in Florida where citrus production is down 95% since the early 2000s, but the corner has finally been turned with exciting new technology that was just approved by the Trump EPA! I was in Florida yesterday with the state Farm Bureau to discuss the big news. tapinto.net/towns/pompano-be…

🚜 The EU negotiations on the Omnibus proposal to weaken the #pesticide regulation are being pushed through at speed, with little scrutiny, no democratic debate, and insufficient expert input.

Gene edited meat 'on dinner plates soon'. Well-researched piece that starts with the ample evidence of gene-edited livestock suffering that has been exposed in New Zealand—and applies it to what's planned in the UK where there may be far less transparency. theecologist.org/2026/may/28…

Erin Brockovich is outraged...
"EPA, FDA, political leaders...where have you been?! CHEMICALS are the biggest environmental threat we've ever faced. They're in our soil, our water, our food. Chemicals have DESTROYED our health and welfare."
