I get calls from farmers and orders from them every single day. They are seeing they can get better results with far less inputs. More focus on soil health, leaving a legacy. not turning their farms into parking lots. animals shouldnt be forced to eat GMO trash. conventional has far more nutritional value. GMO has next to no value.Simple truths. But once again, Syngenta, Bayer, ChemChina, etc are paying out of their minds to skew the public preception. people are being murdered over the truth.
The Shift is happening. WHy be on the side of the chemical giants? why not support independant breeders and people that dont want poison? super strange for you to be championing the destruction of the planet.
As a farmer, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact GMOs can have when grown correctly. The situation you’re describing with Golden Rice in India involved local challenges, not an inherent flaw in GMOs. Most peer-reviewed studies show that GMOs are safe for consumption, and they’ve played an important role in addressing food security and nutritional deficiencies in many areas. I’m not here to push an agenda, but to emphasize that when properly regulated, GMOs can be a helpful tool in agriculture.
The only reason to use GMO seeds is so that you can douse the crop with large amounts of pesticides & herbicides to kill EVERYTHING except that plant. So there is no such thing as a pesticide-free GMO food. GMOs are poison, they have been modified to include poison DNA, and to not die when exposed to the poison, and they are doused with poison.
You don’t understand rat safety testing. The rats used are a specific variety of rats that are prone to getting tumors without testing anything. That’s why ALL tests done with them end before 45 days or you get a false cancer result. Seralini knew that when he faked a cancer result for gmos and thankfully his study was retracted for fraud
Everything you said is wrong and just false activist propaganda. Roundup ready seeds LOWER herbicide use. An acre of land gets the equivalent of one 12oz soda can’s worth of Roundup mixed with a lot of water to spread it over the acre. Doesn’t sound like “dousing” to me. Imagine you had one can of Diet Coke and had to spread it evenly over 4 people’s yards. This amount of Roundup is usually applied twice per season once before planting and again fairly early on after the crop comes up, before the part we eat even appears.
There’s no “poison dna” unless you are referring to the dna that controls a plant’s NATURAL defense mechanisms against pests and diseases. 99.99.% of the pesticides we eat are naturally made by plants themselves
There actually aren’t any real issues with GMOs and glyphosate. Only imaginary ones activists invent to try to find one scary enough to ban it to cripple modern agriculture and benefit organic farming. Wealthy people in Russia have invested billions into organic farming and want to be a major source of it. Russia funds much of the anti-GMO anti-glyphosate propaganda and organizations like Organic Consumers Association
You are 100% correct @RainyDaye That is also my concern also! There are so many people who do not understand and refuse to acknowledge the largest most conclusive scientific study of all time… HUMAN SURVIVAL! We survived for hundreds of thousands of years with ZERO industry genetically altered seeds or chemicals! The people who tell you we will all starve without them are the ones who deny REAL science and creation and/or profit from destruction!
I agree with banning GMO’s. I agree with promoting organic. This is poorly worded. As one person said, there is no Roundup in seeds. Seeds are made resistant to Roundup. Roundup should also be banned.
@LauriM
“Already more than ten years ago, twenty civil society organizations from India, South Africa and all over the world stated in their declaration “A Global Citizens Report on the State of GMOs” that genetic engineering has failed to increase food crop yields but has vastly increased herbicide use and the growth of resistant weeds. While big companies gaining seed market control and pushing up prices, farmers have to go into debt. The high levels of indebtedness among farmers is, for example, thought to be behind many of the hundreds of thousands deaths by suicide of Indian farmers over the past years.”
You should inform the industry because they are falsifying their numbers (according to your post) to show an increase in use rather than a decrease! Why would they produce a “seed” ready for the use of a substance they are using less of? They can’t use it on real food! Your argument is not very sound!
Global consumption
In 2018, global pesticide consumption was 4.1 million tonnes, up from 2.3 million tonnes in 1990. In 2022, the global agricultural use of pesticides reached 3.69 million metric tons.
Pesticide costs
Pesticide costs have increased significantly since 2000, averaging a 7% annualized growth rate from 2000 to 2022. In 2022, pesticide costs were $128 per acre, and are expected to reach $140 per acre in 2024
This argument is like saying mercury is not toxic because it is found in nature! Or do you also think mercury is also safe to use in our food and other products?
There is for sure an increase! And when you think about how much is grown GMO, that is all the proof you need. GMO seeds=increase need for chemical application. They can make claims that it reduces the need all they want but that chart tells the real story.
