New research reveals #GMO crops have raised pesticide use worldwide. Drawing on data from four GMO crops—Bt cotton, herbicide-tolerant (HT) soybean, HT and/or Bt maize, and HT canola—the researchers traced the surge in chemical use over three decades. https://t.co/jN9fTtRx1I

📢 Organisations from across the globe call on #Bayer (formerly #Monsanto) shareholders to end their attempts to undermine laws and regulations that protect the population and the environment. https://t.co/vVsj5knsYt

📖 Must-read new research shows: most people DO care about #climate action—but wrongly believe others don’t. Fixing this “perception gap” could unlock huge collective momentum. Social tipping point, anyone? https://t.co/aMDRp9c41y

Food isn’t like smartphones 📱 or cars 🚗 It’s a basic need & a human right. 💶🤑 But trade rules treat it like any commodity, bought and sold for profit, no matter how it’s made or who it harms. The EU could help change that system—but will it? 👉 https://t.co/jj6icjOaLp

“The struggle for seed sovereignty is a battle against corporate control over our livelihoods and food systems. We celebrate the decision not only as a victory for farmers but as a reaffirmation of our rights to save & exchange seeds without interference.”

😏 Great news for the EU’s competitiveness agenda: Tackling the #ClimateCrisis boosts economic growth! Who would have thought? 📢 Maybe now we can stop treating #ClimateAction like an economic sacrifice & start seeing it as what it is—an opportunity. https://t.co/J0ubYrwIu0

.@JessikaRoswall, if a pesticide is too toxic for Europe, why is it OK anywhere else? 🚨 The EU bans hazardous #pesticides—yet still exports them, harming people & ecosystems abroad. It’s time to end this double standard. Will you act to ban toxic exports?

🙌 In @POLITICOEurope today: @FAO says it’s time to align farming with what people actually need—not just what the system incentivizes. Indeed, current industrial #FoodSystems grow what’s profitable, not what’s healthiest. What about focusing on truly nourishing everyone?

Our research reveals: ❌ Banned #pesticides used abroad—then imported back into the EU ❌ Poor #AnimalWelfare & antibiotic overuse, fueling a global health crisis ❌ #Deforestation & land grabbing driven by industrial cash crops Read report 👉 https://t.co/7oorMJYBYR 2/2

🙏 Thank you MEP @EricSargiacomo for inviting us today at @Europarl_EN to present our joint report on how #EUTrade policies incentivize intensive, extractive agriculture abroad—harming both people and the planet. 1/2

#GMOs are only feeding corporate profits. 🍌 #NewGMOs bananas are made to last longer on shelves, not to help farmers. 🙅‍♀️ More chemicals, more biodiversity destruction, less #FoodSovereignty. Read more in our latest article 👇 https://t.co/HucWuS2GCq (3/3)

🇰🇪 Kenya banned #GMO imports 🇵🇭 The Philippines blocked GMO rice 🇲🇽 Mexico outlawed GMO corn to protect its heritage While some reject corporate-driven farming, the EU is making it easier! (2/3)

#GMOs were once sold as a solution—but who's really benefiting? In Europe, policymakers are pushing to weaken #NewGMOs regulations, favoring agribusiness over farmers, consumers & the environment. Meanwhile, other countries are taking a stand. 👇🧵 https://t.co/HucWuS2GCq
