First Strong Evidence of Genetically Modified Plants Growing in Wild Found in US

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This scares me. A lot. Recently, scientists have collected the first strong evidence found in the US of established GM canola in the wild. The results will be presented today at the Ecological Society of America’s 95th Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh by researchers from the University of Arkansas, led by Meredith G. Schafer. If GM crops are reproducing on their own, it could threaten biodiversity and our food security. http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2010/08/06/first-strong-evidence-of-genetically-modifi… added by: glueandglitter

Monsanto Roundup: It’s your future edition

Posted on August 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

This is the next installment in the monthly Monsanto Roundup, brought to you without corporate sponsorship or commercial interruption. In this edition the discussion surrounds events taking place in the world of Monsanto and biotech: * Monsanto's new poison, and DOW's reinvention of an old one * Regulate and label GMOs President Obama ! * Illegal transgenic contamination events in New Zealand, Italy, Ireland,… * Submission from Norway on the risks of GMOs to biodiversity… you know, that thing that allows us to continue living on Earth. In lieu of reports of both declining ocean and plant diversity, I truly think it is time to take stock in just what the hell we are doing to this planet and yes, that does include climate change! So please avail yourself of the knowledge available on the Sustainable Agriculture Group, and thanks for the support. Knowledge is power. Monsanto, out of our food! added by: JanforGore
