A study analyzing global patterns of field-evolved resistance to Bt crops over the last two decades has found that the number of cases of pest resistance to Bt proteins increased from 3 in 2005 to 16 in 2016. […] This report shows the dramatic impacts of the global food system being rapidly monopolised by ever-fewer, ever-larger corporations. It also tracks agroecology initiatives around the world and gives examples of resistance to big agrifood. […] Recent research by Indian scientists has shown that introducing Golden Rice transgenes had severe and unexpected effects on plant growth and yields. […] A study has found that human exposure to glyphosate through foods has increased approximately 500% over 23 years since the introduction of GM glyphosate-tolerant crops in the US. […] Two recently published papers have revisited the issue of transgene flow into landraces of maize in Mexico. […] Over 1,200 emails released under open records requests reveal that the US military is now the top funder and influencer behind a controversial genetic extinction technology known as “gene drives”. […] A new legal study concludes that the European Commission has a legal obligation to reject the proposed Bayer-Monsanto merger, whether viewed through a narrow competition lens or a wider scope of social and environmental costs. […] The overuse of glyphosate has led to a global situation where glyphosate-resistant weeds are spreading rapidly. The worst infestations and greatest economic impact are seen in countries growing GM glyphosate-resistant crops. […] The Peasant Food Web feeds 70% of the world, including the most hungry, using only 25% of global agricultural resources. On the other hand, the Industrial Food Chain, which uses 75% of agricultural resources, feeds less than 30% of the global population. […] |
