Two farmers just handed over 130.000 signatures calling on German ministries to protect GMO-free farming ✨
A massive call for transparency, risk assessment, and the precautionary principle regarding genetic engineering.
Huge thanks to everyone who signed, shared and supported💚

📣 NGOs from Austria, Spain, France & Slovenia call on the EU to “defend the right of consumers to know what they eat.”
They demand traceability & labelling for all #GMOs
In the #NGT trilogue talks on 13.11., the European Parliament must stand firm for consumers’ rights!

🚨 IUCN just rejected a moratorium on genetically engineered species — by one government vote.
Governments: 49.71% yes / 50.29% no
NGOs and IPLCs: 55.75% yes / 44.25% no
Over 100 scientists warned of irreversible ecological risks, but precaution lost to belief in risky technologies.
