Lifting the ban on Kenya's industrial tree plantations is sensible if there is no encroachment into native forests. Importing wood from other countries only pushes the wood demand to another country and increases transport costs.

Scientists say, "burying trees can reduce global warming as well." I don't know where they're finding these scientists - Watch more on Josh's analysis of Bill Gates' agenda to chop down forests. WATCH 👉 https://t.co/74jZAUXtTt

Thanks @GMWatch for helping get the word out about the waiting disaster of plantations of #GMO eucalyptus trees engineered to be tolerant to toxic herbicides that Suzano wants to spread in #Brazil #stopgetrees #keepforestswild @STOPGETREES
“As Brazil goes, so does the world when it comes to the use of genetically-engineered eucalyptus. The significance of the loss of the Cerrado🇧🇷to #GMO eucalyptus plantations cannot be overstated,” said Anne Petermann (@AnneGJEP), international coordinator of @STOPGETREES. #GMOs

We cannot compromise our economy and sovereignty by allowing the deregulation and release of GE organisms into the NZ environment, when the science shows there are so many risks and unknown effects from GE.

Once again, a #farm in Wisconsin is breaking new ground in training the next gen of #organic veggie and fruit farmers. So much upside in expanding organic production in the State for people, #SoilHealth and the environment.

Wisconsin is home to the first registered apprenticeship program for organic vegetable farm management in the U.S.

🇧🇷Genetically engineered varieties of eucalyptus trees are poised to exacerbate a new wave of ecological and social destruction. Some varieties of #GMO eucalyptus are pesticide-resistant and are likely to increase the use of toxic chemicals such as Roundup https://t.co/4XuDk7BcFA

Brazil is set to unleash several varieties of genetically engineered eucalyptus, which will worsen a bad situation.

Tim Wise points out that the US is perfectly capable of growing non-#GMO corn. And Mexico, its biggest customer, wants that and lots of US producers say they’re ready to grow that. But instead the US is rallying behind Big Ag. It's really an ideological position the US is taking.
