Berlin-Mitte, 25. Mai 2013; Kundgebung und Demonstration gegen den Saatgut- und Nahrungsmittel-Konzern Monsanto im Rahmen des weltweiten MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO unter dem Motto: Stop Monsanto! Saatgut für Alle! Für eine gesunde Nahrung! Für freies Saatgut! Für das Wohl aller Menschen!
Rund 500 Menschen zogen bei strömendem Regen vom Roten Rathaus bis zum Brandenburger Tor.

During photosynthesis in C3 crops, such as wheat and rice, the enzyme Rubisco will react with oxygen (instead of carbon dioxide) creating a plant-toxic compound that must be recycled, wasting energy. In this greenhouse experiment, nine-week-old plants engineered to more efficiently process this toxic compound are visibly larger than unmodified plants.
Realizing Increased Photosynthetic Efficiency (RIPE) is engineering plants to more efficiently turn the sun’s energy into food to sustainably increase worldwide food productivity. The international research project is funded by a $25 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

A Greenpeace activist holds rice cake with the message "IRRI GO GE- Free!" at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) as a security officer negotiates with activists during a Greenpeace activity at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). Greenpeace activists 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.

Hi ,
This is a bit of an emergency and I'm sorry about the late notice
but we've been so focused on climate change that this one nearly slipped by me.
I'm sure you'll remember the nationwide fight to keep New Zealand GE free. Tens of thousands of us marched, not once but three times, to
stop GE crops and food from entering our food-chain. And even though
the Government lifted the moratorium on GE release in 2003 New
Zealand has been effectively GE Free ever since. This is now under
threat from AgResearch, a Government research institute, which hasapplied to 'field test' GE organisms with "a range of genetic
modifications and maintain these organisms in containment for
research, breeding and for the production of products with potential
commercial applications".
If it gets approval AgResearch will be able to conduct broad-ranging
genetic experiments on a vast range of animals including cows,
goats, sheep, pigs, rats, rabbits, possums and chickens. They even
want to alter milk composition and have the right to release GE milk
onto the market and intend using cells taken from 'non-Maori humans'
mixing genes from different species to make transgenic animals. The
application is so broad it lists humans as "host organisms" to modify.
It's really important that as many people as possible oppose this
monstrous application. NZ's GE Free status, food, environment,
economic wellbeing and clean green image are at stake.
Please take a moment to make an online submission to help keep New
Zealand GE free and forward this on to your friends and family.
It is a little complicated so I've included the submission I made
with the help of our lawyer below.
You can find out more about the application here and several other related applications here
We're most concerned with GMF07001 but GMC07012, GMD08012 and
GMD07074 are also of concern so I've also mentioned them in my
submission. You can read the Greenpeace submission here
*Here's my submission:*
- Show quoted text -
In the 'Reason for submission' box I wrote …
There is inadequate information on genetic constructs, location
and disposal for ERMA to make a good decision, or for submitters
to make an informed submission, and ERMA should not have
notified this application until these matters were adequately
specified.
/Its inadequacy is seen in the apparent mistaken inclusion of
humans as a host organism to be genetically modified. There is
insufficient information for ERMA to undertake an adequate risk
assessment. This application should be declined for this reason
alone./
Genetic modification of cows, buffalo, sheep, pigs, goats,
llamas, alpacas, deer, and horses will endanger New Zealand's GE
-free status and non-GM exports as well as New Zealand's dairy,
sheep, deer, pig, goat, llama, alpaca and equine industries. It
can also threaten New Zealand's natural environment, including
flora and fauna, through escape of genetically species,
including pigs, goats, rabbits and possums./
/The application for unlimited duration must not be accepted./
/Conditions on disposal of waste matter are inadequate./
/The genetic modification of rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs,
rabbits, and possums as research models involve risk of escape
and breeding.
The Appendix to application GMC07012 lists the following
species as "The range of host organism to be genetically
modified": these species are listed in the following table." The
list of animals is:, cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep, pig, deer,
llama, alpaca, horse, rat (excluding kiore), mouse, rabbit,
possum, chicken, hamster, guinea pig, monkey, and human.
/I oppose the genetic modification of these species by AgResearch. /
/AgResearch said that is " not possible at the time of
application to specify all the details of each field test which
may be carried on under this approval (including the effects
tested, the location or duration)" since "this application is
for a generic approval (i.e. approval for any field test of
organisms complying with the organism description for the
purposes set out in this application) of unlimited duration."
The application is so broad that "whatever the boundaries, any
outdoor activity will be approved under one approval or the
other". The breadth of this application, together with its lack
of specifics of genetic constructs and locations, and its
unlimited duration, means that it must not be approved. I also
want no approval of commercial release of products approved./
/I want these submissions also taken into account on
applications GMC07012, GMD08012 and GMD07074 and hope that they
will be taking in to consideration within those hearings./
Then for the 'decision I seek' I simply said:
/The application declined./
All the best,
Nick Young

This summer I found and bought some green Echinacea (coneflower). Now, today, I find green dianthus. I don't think its been dyed, I think there is some genetic engineering going on.

Dozens of people and families were gathered at the Hawai‘i State Capitol today, pounding poi. I believe they were there to support a bill currently in the Legislature that would ban the genetic modification of taro, which is considered sacred by Native Hawaiians.
i dont know if they are boys or girls yet - i havent been able to get any baby hairless past two days old so hopefully these ones will live. fingers crossed!

Jeffrey Smith's keynote speech on the health dangers of GMOs had great attendance! The GMO debate has really picked up in the last few months, and we are making sure to stay at the forefront of the debate.
