Do ‘farmers using pesticides’ have more cancer than the general population? For 1/3 of the cancers, the incidence in farmers is significantly lower than the mean; for nearly 2/3 of other types, there is no significant difference with the general population europeanscientist.com/en/features/pe…

The Food Professor I expect food prices to continue to rise in Canada, they have to! The cost of growing, processing food will continue to rise. If the end product (food) doesn’t follow, less farmers will be able to stay on the farm, costs will rise by imported food

Another excellent piece that confirms Mexico's ban on GM corn will be devastating. It's great to see activist propaganda being soundly refuted. geneticliteracyproject.org/2023/11/27/vie…

This should be required reading for the Mexican government as they are rapidly heading down the path of Sri Lanka, deliberately trying to reduce food production and increase poverty.

Omg, the reporter actually talked to experts who know the science! After all, there is not ONE agency in the world that has concluded that foods grown from GM seeds pose ANY unique health hazards. And NOT one agency has concluded that microtraces of glyphosate in food pose a

Brian H Mathison Wow. It makes me so happy to see logic and reason, evidence and proper scholarship, win one for a change.

Clayton Burns David Eby BC NDP I think our trees are doing a good job.

Simon Maechling Why do you always ignore the secret ingredient? Fossil Fuels. For corn, if energy use per hectare had remained the same, yields would have only increased by about 22.7%. There has been an 18.5% improvement in energy efficiency, meaning it takes 81.5% of the energy to produce

Climate change is likely to alter aspects of how we produce and consume food. But, the oft-repeated claims that our food systems are about to collapse due to climate shocks, soil degradation, or extreme weather have little basis in reality. Read my latest for @thebti Journal:

Joanne Nova records how if Germany kept all the nuclear plants it had in 2000, it could have saved $600 billion and reduced CO2 emissions by 73%. Increased CO2 is beneficial as it promotes plant growth, but the $600 billion loss is partly why the German economy is faltering.
