More and more govts - #Nigeria #Brazil #Colombia #Australia #NZ - are approving a drought-resistant #GMwheat called #HB4. Produced by Argentine corporation #Bioceres, it will be used for food & animal feed. Given today’s food & climate crises, urgent action is needed. 🧵 1/8 
#HB4wheat, together with #GoldenRice and #newGMOs, is part of an industry push to weaken and dodge biosafety rules, while increasing corporate control over #seeds. Here’s how this is playing out in Asia: grain.org/e/6863 2/8
Wheat and rice are not yet fully colonised by the #seedindustry, because farmers can save and replant those seeds. They are also key staple foods in many global South countries, at the centre of today’s rising #food prices. 3/8

Scotland's Environment Minister signals no change to #GMO regime in Scotland🏴 gov.scot/publications/g… In a letter to the UK Govt, the Minister says Scotland won't be deregulating and it opposes no labelling of #NewGMOs—"the public have a right to know what they are consuming."
"The Scottish Govt remains wholly opposed to the imposition of the Internal Market Act, and will not accept any constraint on the exercise of its devolved powers to set standards within devolved policy areas." Refers to unlabelled #GMOs from England being marketed in Scotland🏴
"Your own consultation last year rejected the changes to the regulation of GM that you're now pursuing. Consumer information & choice is key. I'm therefore extremely concerned that the UK Govt’s preferred option, as set out in the Bill documentation, will not require labelling.."
One of the most important topics of the 2020s. 1/4👇#EUFoodSafety #EUFarm2Fork
1. Similar problems as in IT: opensource vs proprietary. Economic dependencies can very quickly become nasty. Just take a look at Global Tech today #codeiscode #opensource 2/4
2. Should #newGMOs be introduced, a key factor will be: which code is executed and which is not? Code for pesticide resistance better not! Other codes, on the other hand, can promote #biodiversity (e.g., water-, land-consumption) 3/4
