Glyphosate’s real cost is hiding in plain sight. When it does the job it’s intended to, natural biodiversity is wiped out. Quebec banned aerial spraying in forestry over 20 years ago. It’s far past time for the rest of Canada to catch up. davidsuzuki.org/expert-artic…

🚨 NEW REPORT: The pesticide industry didn't just lobby on the EU's Food & Feed Omnibus. More like they co-wrote it! This report shows how their demands were incorporated – sometimes word for word! Check it out 👇 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/…

Exxon’s interest in algae-based biofuels dates to 2009, when it unveiled a $600M investment in algae with Synthetic Genomics, a biotech company co-founded by Craig Venter. In 2017, Exxon Mobil & Synthetic Genomics announced a big breakthrough using the gene-editing tech #CRISPR.

So sorry to hear of the death of the best-selling Scottish crime writer @authorpetermay. Peter managed to weave important issues into his gripping stories, including a #GMO strain of rice in The Firemaker and neonicotinoid pesticides in Coffin Road. #RIP theguardian.com/books/2026/o…
After reading an article of ours about the antics of a well-known #GMO & #glyphosate defending scientist, Peter told us he’d never get away with putting that kind of character in one of his crime novels: “I wouldn't dare make that stuff up—they’d say I’d stepped outside reality.”
English-language version of brilliant Dutch exposé of the pesticide industry PR tactics used to keep #glyphosate on the market and attack scientists who raise concerns. Harvard's @NaomiOreskes among the contributors. The pay off at the end is priceless 💣youtube.com/watch?v=KOkWahiU…
South Africa greenlights risky #GMO canola in stark betrayal of COP17 biodiversity commitments. @_ACBIO demands immediate reversal of #glyphosate-tolerant field trials that threaten biodiversity and deepen corporate control. acbio.org.za/gm-biosafety/sa…

Parents shouldn't need a PhD to feed their children nutritious food!
Precisely what are we fermenting? We took our questions about genetically engineered ‘precision fermented food’, GRAS, purity, and our children directly to the FDA. By @GMOScience gmwatch.org/en/latest-news/2…

Pesticides Threaten Farmers' Mental Health. Pesticide exposure may increase depression & disrupt brain & gut health. Those who worked primarily with #glyphosate reported significantly higher rates of depressive symptoms compared to those with less exposure psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/…

This is a fascinating conversation that brings out the differences between Slovakia, which has filed a lawsuit challenging the new #GMO laws at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and countries with governments that have fortified themselves against public opinion.
As Slovakia files legal challenge to GMO deregulation in Europe, GM Freeze’s Leonie Nimmo talked with Samuel Matejíčka from quid est VERITAS to find out more about the campaign: gmfreeze.org/2026/09/23/slov… #GMOs #NGTs #NotoGMOs

Supreme Court urged to list contempt plea urgently over alleged release of GMO rice. "They have now given the go-ahead to plant #GMO basmati rice, which is a herbicide-tolerant variety. It will destroy our basmati. It will contaminate and cause havoc." thehindubusinessline.com/new…

Scientists call on EU Commission to scrap plans to relax regulations on genetically modified microorganisms. In an op-ed for Le Monde, a group of over 60 scientists say it “could have long-lasting effects on human health, the environment, and society.” gmwatch.org/en/latest-news/2…

Spoiler: researchers found 236 fungal proteins and 93 unidentified compounds in #synbio milk they tested. They ask, "shouldn’t that finished product be thoroughly characterised before we conclude that it is safe for widespread and repeated consumption?" @GMWatch

Another gene-edited herbicide-tolerant crop—this time "producing rice & wheat plants that shrug off herbicide doses far exceeding what farmers normally spray." This will allow the heavy spraying of HHPD inhibitors like isoxaflutole, a suspected carcinogen. scienmag.com/scientists-engi…
GMO herbicide-tolerant crops account for ~90% of the total land area planted with #GMO crops worldwide. Gene editing won't just continue that trajectory. With deregulation, it can develop them faster, more profitably, and hide them better from consumers. gmwatch.org/en/latest-news/1…

US Supreme Court gave pesticide companies immunity. There is still a better path forward. "We do not need to settle for a broken pesticide regulatory system. Let’s make the effort to stop playing defense and do this right," says Rob Faux @pesticideaction panna.org/news/scotus-gave-p…

GMWatch and Prof Michael Antoniou have made a submission to the EU Commission's consultation on the (de)regulation of so-called new genomic techniques (NGTs), which create new GMOs through gene editing techniques like CRISPR-Cas9. Read it here gmwatch.org/images/pdf/EU_CO…

United States, European Union, BRICS must urgently scrutinize #glyphosate and its carcinogenic impact on humans. New studies show tumours at the dose Europe calls safe and chromosome damage in the human gut at levels people are exposed to every day. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…
“When the exposed population is everyone, and the most vulnerable are unborn children and farmworkers, waiting for perfect proof is poor governance. #Glyphosate has had the benefit of the doubt for 50 years. It is time that benefit passed to the public.” — Dr Edmond Fernandes
