Third World Network Biosafety Information Service, 4 Apr 2021
Worldwide, governments are under pressure from the biotechnology and agrichemical industries to deregulate products developed using the so-called “new” genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing and gene silencing. A new paper describes how many of the new techniques are not new to science, but because of technical developments can now be applied to more species in less time and for more kinds of traits.

New study points to unintended effects of gene editing in plants and potential negative effects on ecosystems
Gene editing causes drastic unwanted effects in gene-edited plants including severe deformities, a new scientific publication in the journal Environmental Sciences Europe shows. This is the case even when the changes are intended by the gene editor to be small tweaks to existing genes rather than, for example, the introduction of new genetic material.
More broadly, the study provides an overview of the negative effects on ecosystems that can result from the release of gene-edited plants. These unintended effects result from the intended changes induced by genome editing, which can affect various metabolic processes in the plants.

The next neocolonial gold rush?

[links to sources at this URL]
Planning documents for the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit shed new light on the agenda behind the controversial food summit that hundreds of farmers’ and human rights groups are boycotting. The groups say agribusiness interests and elite foundations are dominating the process to push through an agenda that would enable the exploitation of global food systems, and especially Africa.
The documents, including a background paper prepared for summit dialogues and a draft policy brief for the summit, bring into focus “plans for the massive industrialization of Africa’s food systems,” said Mariam Mayet, executive director of the African Centre for Biodiversity (ACB), who provided the documents to U.S. Right to Know.

Internal government emails show actions similar to those by Bayer and lobbyists to kill a proposed ban in Thailand in 2019
EXCERPT: “We’re seeing more and more how the pesticide industry uses the US government to aggressively push its agenda on the international stage and quash any attempt by people in other countries to take control of their food supply,” said Nathan Donley, a biologist with the CBD conservation group.

Bill Gates, Climate Warrior – and Super Emitter

Bill Gates, Climate Warrior – and Super Emitter
Details
Bill Gates has a new book out:
How to Avoid a Climate Disaster. But some people are less than amused at having to take lessons on the climate crisis from a billionaire who, in the words of the ETC Group, “made a fortune skirting government regulations with monopolistic practices, and holds a significant financial stake in the continued expansion of the fossil fuel industry.”

The following article by Tim Schwab makes clear just how extensive those fossil fuel investments are and how much they are at odds with Bill Gates’ claims. But at the same time as holding significant financial interests in fossil fuel extraction and fossil fuel dependent industries, quite apart from having a massive personal carbon footprint, Gates is also embracing large-scale planetary interventions via risky geoengineering.

Glyphosate and Roundup disturb gut microbiome and blood biochemistry at doses that regulators claim to be safe

Details
New study reveals evidence for potential cancer-causing damage. Report: Claire Robinson
Glyphosate and the glyphosate-based herbicide Roundup disrupt the gut microbiome by the same mechanism by which the chemical acts as a weedkiller, and these effects happen even at low doses that regulators claim to be safe, a newly published study has found.[1]
The new study was conducted by an international team of scientists based in London, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, led by Dr Michael Antoniou of King’s College London. It is published today in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

Discussion around new GMOs should be chance to ask uncomfortable questions about research and innovation, not sneer at non-GMO-believers, say professors
In the article below from the Belgian press, four professors (from schools of law, philosophy of science, and bioengineering) warn that Brexit shouldn't be a reason for deregulating new GMOs.

They make a number of extremely important points. Among them, that the driving force behind deregulation in Britain and parts of Europe – they focus on Belgium – is not really the issues that are flagged up (the hype about silver-bullet solutions to agricultural problems), but the lobbying power of Big Ag, together with an obsession at the national level with competitive advantage.

o alth?really seem point? >> no long-term studies have been done on humans but when done on animals, it's pretty appalling. the third generation of hamsters were not able to produce babies. the real issue in our country is that genetically modified foods are not labeled so people do not know that they are eating genetically modified foods. over 60 countries around the world require gmos to be labeled but the u.s. does not. and why is that? according to the food and water watch, the ag biotech industry, which owns all of these gmos, have spent $572 million on campaigning and lobbying to make sure that they do not get labels. >> what is that? >> these are the companies that design these genetically modified foods but these are the

genetically modified foods, known as gmos. what can we do about it? i didn't turn so i turned to my friend max goldberg for answers. what is gmo? >> gmo stands for genetically modified organism. what it is is food made in a laboratory. up until the last 20 or 30 years, this is food that never existed before. it's made in a laboratory and more often than not they are inserting viruses or bacteria into these plants. >> why do they do that? >> because gmos were designed to sell more chemicals. so when they spray chemicals on the plants, they don't want it to kill the plants. they want it to kill everything around, whether it's weeds or pests. >> so gmos are bug-resistant? >> exactly. the plants are resistant to the chemicals. >> okay. so why are they so bad for our
