Recent research in China and Brazil shows that the cultivation of GE Bt crops can speed up the spread of the cotton bollworm and white fly pests, respectively. […] Research shows that glyphosate and Roundup disrupt the gut microbiome of rats by the same mechanism by which the chemical acts as a weedkiller, even at low doses that regulators claim to be safe. […] Transgenes in wild cotton can affect its physiological, metabolic, and ecological processes, demonstrating the need for monitoring of transgene frequency in wild populations and associated ecological consequences, so as to protect the primary genetic pool. […] This study on rats provides evidence that the health effects from glyphosate can be inherited by subsequent generations, suggesting the need to assess the impacts of environmental exposures on future generations. […] This study finds that current risk assessment of GM crops in South Africa is flawed, stemming from a neoliberal, productivist perception, and recommends the Feminist Ethics of Care as a holistic framework that acknowledges the strength of socio-ecological relationships. […] Despite the promises, GM crops, including the new gene-edited crops, are unlikely to ever meet the agronomic, social and environmental requirements of sustainable agriculture. […] A glyphosate-resistant weed has naturalized in Japan less than 10 years after it was first discovered in the US, the largest exporter of GM glyphosate-resistant grain to Japan, providing evidence that GM crop imports can be a pathway for spread of problematic weed species. […] This study demonstrates that diet is a primary source of glyphosate exposure and that shifting to an organic diet is a fast and effective way to reduce glyphosate levels in both adults and children. […] Glyphosate-based herbicides can adversely affect the physiological processes of plants, even those genetically modified to be tolerant to them, and more so in GM stacked varieties. […] A new scientific paper reveals that genome editing can cause genomic irregularities in the resultant GMOs, even if genes are not inserted, or inserted only transiently. This underscores the need for a process-oriented risk assessment, which would also improve the risk assessment of first-generation GMOs. […] |
