Genetic engineering can't be contained in living systems. Engineered genes & microbes inevitably spread, exposing regulatory blind spots & challenging assumptions of control, precaution & accountability. We'll be keeping an eye on 'wild' GMOs from now on. beyond-gm.org/editing-nature…

Good golly there’s - unintentionally, I think - lots to unpack in this Telegraph piece - not least confused framing around meat vs “not-meat”, systemic change vs tech fixes & how animal welfare, farming & innovation get blurred into a simplistic story. telegraph.co.uk/business/2025/…🧵

New research shows gene editing can cause lasting disruption to genome function through “chromatin fatigue” – even when DNA appears to have repaired itself – raising serious questions about UK deregulation, which assumes precision equals safety. beyond-gm.org/gene-editing-c…

UK government is pressing ahead with it's GMO deregulation - you don't have to accept it. You do have a choice - and the power - to reject it and to refuse to buy unlabelled on assessed GMO products. Check this out.

But what seems clear from these “sources” is supermarkets generally don’t give a fig what their customers want. For issues like precision bred GMOs, a key part of the “food strategy”, unless customers make a noise supermarkets won’t demand labelling & thus support lack of choice

It's not civil society that has pitted environment against the economy - it's the government!

More twisty nonsense from biotech bros. “‘Precision breeding’/gene editing is faster and easier than old style GMOs. Oh wait, no it’s not. We should just remove the regulations from all GM. That’s the best thing…” It’s exhausting.

1/ The EFRA Committee report on a UK–EU SPS agreement is out. It largely assumes the question is how to make alignment work, not whetherthe underlying regulatory choices are coherent. Let’s talk about why that matters. 🧵committees.parliament.uk/committee/52/e…

Here's our latest GMO Review, which takes in the bad news on new GMOs, and the good news on GMO bans and restrictions, as well as victories for seed sovereignty🌱🎉 Also, the shocking human costs of a major #GMO failure, and our latest LOBBYWATCH🕵️reports. gmwatch.org/en/main-menu/n…

Estimates suggest 1 acre of optimised dandelions might produce enough for 250 truck tires…honestly you couldn't make this stuff up.

As the EU revises rules for gene-engineered plants, debates centre on safety, traceability and labelling. Overlooked is patent law’s role in reshaping who can breed plants, on what terms, and with what legal certainty overall. abiggerconversation.org/new-gmos-and-t…

Hard to believe they re still pushing the transgenic, GMO purple tomato as something that can prevent cancer.

⚖️🌱 Gene-edited crops are set for a High Court test in May. The legal challenge has been launched against England’s precision breeding regulations READ MORE: farminguk.com/news/gene-edit…

Forewarned is forearmed…

Challenge over new-GMO regs heads to High Court. Beyond GM brings judicial review, arguing allowing GMO plants to enter the environment and the food chain—without safety testing or labelling—undermines the rights of farmers, food businesses and consumers. thegrocer.co.uk/news/challenge…
