It is crucial to guarantee on-package labeling throughout the entire supply chain, from the field to the plate. The Parliament must not give up on labeling and traceability in the current #NGT negotiations. Support breeders, farmers, producers and consumers in their right to choose! #IChooseGMOFree

It would be tricky to convey the 3rd International Biodynamic Conference in words, so we've settled for some pictures. Thanks to the organisers for an inspiring event. gmfreeze.org/2025/09/05/3...

The @ec.europa.eu's #CAP proposal weakens sustainability, leaving up to MS how to finance agri-environmental measures.🌿At least one third of the CAP budget should be ringfenced for the protection of ecosystems services including #OrganicFarming.

🚫 No GMOs through the back door!

The EU plans to allow untested, unlabelled #newGMOs on our fields & plates.

Only the EU Parliament supports traceability & labelling, but this is now at risk. Email your MEPs now to protect our safety & right to choose 👇 demeter.net/no-gmos-thro... #IChooseGMOfree
No GMOs through the back door! - Demeter International
Ask your politicians to maintain our freedom of choice by keeping new GMOs regulated and labelled. We want to know what we eat and grow!

🌾 Bitter harvest 🌾
30 years after the first GMO crops hit the fields, their promises - like feeding the world & cutting chemicals - mostly failed. Our new website exposes 8 broken biotech promises. Time for a fairer food system✊

A collage of headlines and quotes promoting the proclaimed benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops and genetic engineering. Text snippets include statements such as “Genetic engineering could ‘reverse the Silent Spring scenario’,” “Millions served – While the West debates the ethics of genetically modified food, Florence Wambugu is using it to feed her country,” and “GMO golden rice could save 40,000 lives a day, people that are malnourished and dying.” Other phrases emphasize medical and agricultural benefits like “Purple tomato can beat cancer,” “Genetic engineering could make crops resistant to a wide range of diseases,” and “The vilification of genetically modified crops could jeopardize efforts to feed the world’s growing population.” One quote reads, “Protest against GM crops are a crime against humanity.” The background is styled with torn-paper textures.

👀 Food labels provide information that allows us to choose the food we want to eat, i.e. presence of GMOs.✔️

💼 But EU politicians are discussing ending the labelling of most #NewGMOs #NGTs

✊ We demand that politicians defend our freedom of choice and keep all GMOs labelled!

44 European and national organisations, including foodwatch, call on EU policymakers to ensure the freedom of choice by upholding mandatory labelling of new GMOs obtained by New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) as well as traceability across the entire value chain. www.foodwatch.org/en/new-gmos-...

What does a #FoodSystems approach do?
✔️It makes impacts visible
💡It creates space for joined-up thinking
🤲And it delivers answers that work for all, from local to global.

🌍🌱The EU Vision for Agriculture and Food has too many blind spots. A #FoodSystems lens sees the whole picture and maximises our ability to achieve mutliple goals, from decent livelihoods for farmers to affordable healthy diets for people on a thriving planet!

⛔Today the Council endorsed the mandate to start trilogues on the NGT Regulation jeopardizing the sovereignty of the EU farming and breeding sector!

📌Traceability and labelling requirements must be maintained for all NGTs to ensure freedom of choice for everyone!

Council mandate on NGTs threatens to strip farmers' and breeders' freedom of choice - Demeter International
For the Federation the Parliament went backwards on biosafety but introduced some improvements on traceability and labelling.
