[…] There are technically viable, but politically ignored, options to raise large sums of funding for agroecological transformations, such as taxing the ultra-rich, reducing military spending, disinvesting in industrial agriculture and redirecting funding away from greenwashed false solutions. […] The integration of AI into genetic engineering (generative AI) raises concerns that plants with unsafe and undesirable traits may be engineered and released into the environment. […] Mexico has banned the planting of GM corn in order to protect its vast diversity of corn, which is central to its culture and identity. […] The Kenya Court of Appeal has blocked the Kenyan government from importing genetically modified organisms into the country […] |
