Biotech companies - and the government - call gene edited/'precision bred'/GMO plants, foods and animals “natural.” The only thing “natural” about these #GMOs is how naturally the spin keeps spinning.

UK conservation groups supporting GMOs as a 'conservation tool' — despite risks & no proven benefits? Decisions with big implications for nature demand accountability & informed, equitable debate, not mute acquiescence to biotech narratives. Who voted? See: beyond-gm.org/iucn-votes-o...

New Genetic Technology Regulations, in force from today, ignore the truth about what precision-bred GMOs are. That's why we have initiated a judicial review. Every donation moves us closer to a food system built on honesty and transparency: www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hi...

In 2023 when new legislation came in, the UK Government estimated 1-2 field trials of #GMO 'precision bred' crops in England per year. Of the 33 trials that have since been conducted, 22 are still live. You pay for it, but you have no right to know about it #NotSoFunFact

Here's a Monday myth breaker. No safety testing required - or legally allowed! - for new 'precision bred' GMOs from November. If it sounds like a reckless corporate loophole, that's because it is! #NotSoFunFact

Unlabelled, untraceable gene-edited (so-called “precision-bred”) foods could start appearing on UK shelves after 13 Nov. We think that’s unacceptable — & we’re fighting back through a judicial review. Donate now & see more on our websites crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hidden-gmos #stophiddengmos

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has endorsed the use of genetic engineering technologies as a conservation tool. We unpick what that means for #nature. Hint - it’s not good. beyond-gm.org/iucn-votes-o...
IUCN votes on gene editing in conservation: Biotech lobbyists ‘win’, nature loses
The IUCN’s embrace of genetic engineering as a conservation 'tool' marks a profound shift in policy – from protecting nature to engineering it. Critics warn this opens the door to biotech influence, e...

As the IUCN World Conservation Congress opens in Abu Dhabi, members face a pivotal choice between embracing genetic engineering as a conservation tool or pausing to apply the precautionary principle to these rapidly advancing technologies. abiggerconversation.org/protecting-nat…

There's no 'buffer zones' in the ocean. New regulations for genetically modified precision bred organisms allow environmental releases of experimental crops on land and in our oceans and waterways with no transparency. DONATE to our legal challenge today. www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hi...

Epic media fail. Every major UK media outlet covering GMO deregulation just repeated government talking points that precision bred GMOs are 'natural' & aren't GM at all. Zero critical journalism on blatant corporate spin. DONATE today to #StopHiddenGMOs crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hidden-gmos

In opposition, Labour was deeply critical of the lack of transparency around #GMO precision-bred organisms. In power, they have ushered in one of the least transparent & most liberal regimes in the world. #StopHiddenGMOs. DONATE to our legal fund now crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hidden-gmos

The UK government doesn't want you to know if you are eating or growing GMOs. But 8 in 10 in the UK think this is wrong & want to see all GMOs labelled. We're challenging the government to #StopHiddenGMOs. Support our legal action crowdfunder today crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hidden-gmos

Two futures. One grounded in real soil, real food & trust. The other in secrecy, synthetic food & deregulation. What kind of food system do you want? We’re taking the fight for #GMO transparency to court. Support our legal challenge to #StopHiddenGMOs at www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hi...

What's the government trying to hide by not labelling precision bred GMOs? We've started a legal action to ensure openness & traceability when it comes to GMOs in our food & environment. If you think transparency's a good idea, join the fight. DONATE today www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hi...

Consumers, farmers & food businesses want all GMOs to be subject to rigorous environmental & safety assessments, meaningful public consultation & full traceability ‘from field to fork'. Help us fight back. #StopHiddenGMOs DONATE to our legal fund now www.crowdjustice.com/case/stop-hi...

1/ UK DefraSecretary of State @SteveReedMP told @CommonsEFRA this week that precision breeding will boost farm profits by increasing yields. But here's a problem: higher yields don't always mean higher profits. Let’s look at how this assumption clashes with economic reality... 🧵
