Sehr gut! Pseudomedizin wie #Homöopathie hat nichts in einer Partei zu suchen, die sich der Wissenschaft verschrieben hat. Als nächstes bitte:
"Grüne vollziehen Kehrtwende bei der #Gentechnik"
Grüne vollziehen Kehrtwende bei der Homöopathie: Am ersten Tag des Grünen-Parteitags in Hannover wird es lebhaft: Ein Antrag wird angenommen, der die Finanzierung homöopathischer Leistungen durch gesetzliche Krankenkassen untersagen will. Eine historische Kehrtwende.

Today is a big day as the Precision Breeding Act comes into force 🌱

@kamounlab.bsky.social: “This is a milestone for UK science and innovation. We now have the regulatory framework to translate discovery into impact — improving crops, strengthening food security, and benefiting society” 🌿

I want this: Genome-edited Chardonnay grapes resistant or tolerant to mildew & powdery mildew!
Did you know that grapes are grown on only ~5% of European agricultural land, but account for ~2/3 of all fungicide sprayed in Europe?

Europe’s first field trial of gene-edited grape vines have begun in northern Italy. Developed by EdiVite, Chardonnay vines have undergone gene inactivation to enable them to better defend themselves against downy mildew, a major fungal disease

ENVI voted 56:32 in favour of the new regulation of NGTs!
#GiveGenesAChance 🇪🇺
Today is a big moment for the future of European agriculture.

After over two years of negotiations the EU Parliament's ENVI committee will vote on the New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) file.

We've been there since the beginning advocating for NGTs to improve EU sustainability & food security.

Bruno Studer argues that strict NGT laws favor big corporations by creating high entry barriers. To keep Swiss breeding local and innovative, we need science-based regulation, not more hurdles. 🌾🚫 Thank you, "Schweizer Bauer", for the comprehensive interview! 👇

Right now anti-gene-editing groups are lobbying MEPs to block crucial innovation that will make European agriculture more sustainable.

The final vote on legislation governing the use of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) will take place next week.

European Parliamnent, please listen to the young scientists of the world:
The science is clear – yes to #CRISPR and other New Genetic Technologies! #NGT #NGTs

Worth reading. Crispr-edited vines field-tested in italy.

Also this illustrates a big problem with GMO food. Benefits happen at the production stage, so consumers see no benefit for themselves and oppose on principle. Especially since people often don't acknowledge that food is actually produced.

These gene-edited Chardonnay vines should have “the ability to defend themselves against downy mildew, without the help of pesticides.”

They plan to next field test prosecco, Italy’s sparkling white wine.

Downy mildew is present in #NZ 🇳🇿, too.

Eine weitere klare Stellungnahme aus der Wissenschaft zu Genom-Editing (NGT) von Pflanzen, diesmal von der AG Gentechnologiebericht. Mit guten Argumente an die Politik, vor allem SPD und Grüne, endlich die Blockade gegen die EU-Vorschläge aufzugeben. www.gentechnologiebericht.de/publikatione...

Das wäre wirklich ein Game Changer für den Pflanzenschutz-intensiven Kartoffelanbau.
Mit Kreuzung ist es trotz großer Anstrengungen bisher nicht gelungen, wirksame genetische Resistenzen mit den Qualitätsmerkmalen einer Speisekartoffel zu kombinieren.
Genau für solche Fälle gilt: #GiveGenesAChance
Bald könnten sie tatsächlich noch auf die Felder kommen: Kartoffeln mit einer dauerhaften, in Feldversuchen erprobten Resistenz gegen die Kraut- und Knollenfäule. Viele Landwirte, auch Bios, dürfte das freuen. Das bedeutet 80% weniger spritzen. (Bisher haben das die Gentechnik-Gesetz verhindert.)
Weniger spritzen im Kartoffelanbau. Wirksame Resistenz mit neuen genomischen Techniken
Die Kraut- und Knollenfäule ist die weltweit wichtigste Kartoffelkrankheit. Den Landwirten bleibt kaum anderes übrig, als immer wieder zu spritzen. Dabei gibt es wirksame Alternativen: Kartoffeln, in ...

Im Sommer wird das EU-Parlament über die Regulierung von Neuen Genomischen Techniken (NGTs) wie CRISPR & Co. abstimmen.

Im Gespräch mit dem Bundesinformationszentrum Landwirtschaft versuche ich, einige Punkte in der Diskussion zu diesem Thema einzuordnen.

Raise your voice to #GiveGenesAChance in the EU! 💚🧬🇪🇺
After years of debate, Europe is finally close to approving New Genomic Techniques (NGTs). A vote in the European Parliament is now just weeks away.

In February 2024, together with scientists across Europe, we urged MEPs to vote yes to supporting NGTs.

Now we need your help to finish the job.
CALL ON THE EU TO SUPPORT MODERN AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE
EU decisionmakers are days away from a crucial decision on the sustainability of European agriculture. Will you take a moment to call on them to support modern agricultural science?
