Team members of the RIPE project transplanting seedlings for the 2016 field trials. RIPE is engineering crops that more efficiently turn the sun's energy into food. This project could increase yields by as much as 60% to help smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia feed their communities and provide for their families.
The Hotel & Restaurants Association of Negros Occidental (HRANO), composed of all the major hotels and restaurants in the province, announced yesterday (16 Sept 09) its partnership with Greenpeace and its stand on the controversial ban on GMOs. Activists dressed as chickens also circulated a petition, prepared by Greenpeace and HRANO, urging the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Negros Occidental not to amend the ban and instead work on implementing rules and regulations towards an Organic Negros Island. The petition was signed by farmers, students, business owners, workers, consumers and other citizens of Negros. Picture shows (left-right) Greenpeace sustainable agriculture campaigner Daniel Ocampo, together with prominent chef & restaurateur Margarita Fores, HRANO President Roberto Magalona, and HRANO vice president Nestor Evaristo signing the petition.

I happen to believe
this talk gives information about geo engineering the drought in California, his soil sample discussions make me curious if that data is public!!!!?????

Ratchaburi, Thailand, 7 March 2009 –Greenpeace supporters, volunteers and farmers planted organic rice today in a bid to create the first ever art on a rice field in Thailand. The 10-rai rice field in Ratchaburi province will grow into a beautiful art in the next 4 months to show an image of farmers wearing straw hats and suing sickle to harvest rice. | Photo COPYRIGHT by Greenpeace / Vinai Dithajohn
Polydactyly is the possession of additional fingers. Nonodactyly is the possession of nine. (Okay, I made that word up, but it makes linguistic sense.)
I'm blogging about the creation of this project in my new process blog, Curious Art Lab.

(It's for the Things to Come show at Bold Hype Gallery in NYC opening on 9 September 2010.)
A Powerpoint slide from Jeffrey Smith's keynote: Arpad Pusztai conducted an important study that demonstrated the negative effects of a genetically engineered potato. Pusztai lost his job at a prestigious university in Scotland because his research results did not match the desires of the biotech industry or its governmental and scientific sponsors. A full account of his story is found in Jeffrey Smith's book Seeds of Deception.

two days after the last photos and he has lost all the hair off his head.
such a blurry photo, i hate that so much. Some days i just cant seem to get it to focus and others its razor sharp. Gahhhhh!

Two of Liverpool's Superlambananas: The Superlambridge (by Joanne Kelly) and Smiley Lamb (by Alex Austin).
The figures come from the 'Go Superlambananas!' exhibition, held during Liverpool's 2008 celebration of being the European City of Culture. The figures are smaller scale versions of Taro Chiezo's SuperLamBanana - itself created to mark two of Liverpool's cargos (lambs and bananas) whilst also commenting on genetic engineering.

NZ Kauri tree, Waitakeres.Sadly there is a Kauri Dieback disease affecting the trees though. Between 2011 and 2016 the spread of kauri dieback disease increased on average from 8 percent to more than 19 percent in the Ranges.In some areas, including Piha, up to almost 60 percent of trees are infected.Trampers or walkers have to brush and disinfect their shoes on some of the walks. The National government's Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is the national co-ordinator of the $26 million Kauri Dieback Programme, which was set up in 2014 to try to control the disease.They have not helped the rescue of the trees.The disease has some similarity to the Irish potato famine. A disease which is killing off kauri in parts of Northland, Auckland and the Coromandel Peninsula and further south.
There is now a rahui on the entire Waitakeres green space for Auckland.
There is research into the use of the agricultural chemical phosphite to control the disease.
Kauri dieback is caused by a microbe called Phytophthora taxon Agathis (PTA), which was formally identified in 2008 and has been in the country for at least 40 years.
Regional councils and the Department of Conservation (DOC) are responsible for delivering the programme locally, including making sure hygiene stations for people to clean their shoes are stocked with disinfectant and raising public awareness.
Back in 2015 Scion scientist Dr Phillip Wilcox said research into genetic resistance was a high priority of the programme to combat kauri dieback. "We're only just now getting into the research that is necessary to identify and utilise genetic resistance," he said.
Perhaps opportune for the funding?

installed a 'historical' marker in the International Rice Research (IRRI). Greenpeace is calling on the Philippine-based rice center to abandon the development of genetically-engineered (GE) rice
varieties. IRRI is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the adoption of its bylaws today. Greenpeace activists also delivered rice cake with the message "IRRI GO GE-Free" to remind the rice center that its mission "to reduce poverty and hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers and ensure that rice production is environmentally sustainable" can never be achieved through GE rice.

Top Chef Darren Epp addresses the crowd at the Mercato Centrale in Bonifacio Global City,
Taguig, as he prepares a demo of various courses using organic eggplant during the
Greenpeace Organic Cook-Out. The event highlights the call for a ban on genetically
engineered (GE) food crops, the protection of organic our farming industry from the
threat of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and the promotion of sustainable
agriculture.

Greenpeace activists mothers stage a a sit in in Woolworths supermarket in Neutral Bay, Sydney, demanding that supermarkets remove the baby formula S-26 Soy from the shelves until proper testing and labeling has been undertaken.
The activists had labeled the formula clearly tagging it as genetically modified and giving parents the right to choose. The breast milk replacement formula S26 Soy is produced by American pharmaceutical company Pfizer and Greenpeace discovered that the product was contaminated with GM (genetically modified) soy after they commissioned tests on how safe several infant formula products were.
