Viewpoint: Europe’s ‘Green’ activists wield McCarthy-era tactics by promoting ideology over science, undermining the push for sustainable food – Genetic Literacy Project
Calls for realistic and workable regulation of “new genomic techniques” (NGT or new breeding techniques, “NBT”) for plant breeding cannot be heard. Those who advocate for them are mouthpieces for “capitalist science” according to a Greens/EFA report from the European Parliament. Joseph McCarthy returns!

‘Globally we are no longer innovating’: Agricultural productivity is faltering — and that’s why we need to streamline regulations of new technologies – Genetic Literacy Project
The recently released 2022 Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Report tells a disturbing story: Growth in global agricultural productivity is in steep decline, a fact that should be of universal concern to environmentalists, hunger advocates, policymakers, and the general public alike.

Study: ‘Avoiding regulatory bottlenecks’ — Here’s how countries around the world are advancing climate-friendly gene editing in farming – Genetic Literacy Project
We looked at how countries selected from a sample of geographical regions globally are currently handling applications involving GEd organisms and what they foresee as opportunities and potential challenges to acceptance of the technology in their jurisdictions.

Canada relaxes rules governing gene-edited crops – Genetic Literacy Project
Canadian health regulator Health Canada has published a fresh set of guidelines on gene-edited crops. The new instructions cover gene-edited crops that meet the criteria set for food that is not considered novel food could be treated the same way as conventional crops.
