Anti-GMO groups are alleging that gene-edited crops represent a threat to Latin America’s cultural heritage. geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2336723 lventura.tar.gz

This is the most recent piece I've done, this one is about the activism in Latin America and how the existing NGO's network could affect the adoption of gene-edited crops in the region. Genetic Literacy Project geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2336723

Luis Ventura sobre la guerra de las ONG relativistas y regresivas contra los cultivos manipulados genéticamente... razón contra superstición en una guerra que está allí, y haciendo daño...

Acá pueden oir a Kevin Folta y @camjenglish hablando sobre la historia más reciente que he hecho para Genetic Literacy Project en relación a los grupos anti-OGMs en LATAM, y como su actividad podría obstaculizar la adopción de cultivos editados genéticamente en la región.

Mañana sábado estaré participando en esta charla organizada por PILARES CDMX sobre el temor a la ciencia, me tocará abordar los mitos y la desinformación que existe sobre los transgénicos.

Un gusto haber estado en esta charla, hablamos de todo un poco: temor a la ciencia, transgénicos, glifosato, la 4T y hasta de Paty Navidad! 🌽💉🔬🧬 Rodrigo Álvarez🧬🌽💉☢️ Martín Bonfil Olivera 🇺🇦 Melissa Fautsch Luis Marin Sosa facebook.com/32533292809584…

Banning GM crops because we have “enough food” does not solve any of the world’s real agricultural problems. geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2343068 lventura.tar.gz

This is the last piece I did for Genetic Literacy Project, I explain why banning GM crops because we have “enough food” does not solve any of the world’s real agricultural problems, and I make a closer look at the seven years of GM maize restrictions in Mexico. geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2343068

Te invitamos a unirte a esta charla con cuatro científicos latinoamericanos que abordarán el pasado, el presente y el futuro de los OGMs, en una región donde estos cultivos han sido adoptados y también prohibidos. Regístrate ahora en Zoom allianceforscience.cornell.edu/alliance-for-s…

New gene-editing techniques like #CRISPR are helping Latin America realize its potential as a world power in food production. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2020/12/l…

The Mexican government “romanticizes poverty in the countryside, and anything that differs from that image seems inappropriate. The idea that technology and sustainability can coexist is unthinkable for them,” reports @Iuisventura. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2021/01/m…

This is the most recent piece I've done for Alliance for Science echoing farmers' and scientists voices' making reference to a government that “romanticizes poverty in the countryside, and anything that differs from that image seems inappropriate” allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2021/01/m…

Our Mexico-based contributor @Iuisventura spoke with farmers and scientists about what is at stake for the country’s agricultural sector if GM crops are excluded, as well as the dangers of ignoring scientific research at the national level. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2021/01/m…

Despite the promise of crop editing technologies like CRISPR, existing GM methods do not necessarily need to be replaced. geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2362176 @Iuisventura

This is the most recent piece I've done for Genetic Literacy Project highlighting the importance to promote NBTs without undermining existing techniques, because in the end, all the available tools matter and are part of a toolbox used for farmers globally. geneticliteracyproject.org/?p=2362176

Who is doing what with crop gene editing in LATAM? And when will these improved crops be available to farmers? Join Paul Chavarriaga, Claudia Stange Klein, Alejandro Hernández, Sandra Valdes and @Iuisventura to find out. allianceforscience.cornell.edu/alliance-for-s…

Este 2 de febrero moderaré este seminario para Alliance for Science, donde tendremos una conversación con científicos de LATAM que actualmente haciendo investigación sobre cultivos editados genéticamente que están siendo desarrollados para la Región Latinoamericana.
