#Organic farming is dishonest when it comes to genetic engineering as it also uses GMO varieties—namely those developed by #mutagenesis. Costs of #GMOs are driven by approval hurdles, not patents. After 30 years of #GeneticEngineering there is no higher risk with #GMO crops than with conventional #plantbreeding; remaining approval hurdles contradict the state of #science & undermine sustainability: https://lnkd.in/d7ScFVuU #sustainable #regulation

Shorter growing season: Ideal for summer planting in key soybean growing regions. High protein content: Provides a valuable source of plant-based protein. Drought and heat tolerant: Thrives in challenging climates. https://lnkd.in/eu6JWvVB

Over the past 20 years, policymakers' acceptance of genetically modified (GM) crops has varied, affecting the introduction of new agricultural technologies. Chirag Jain, Partner and Food Processing Industry Leader, #GTBharat, highlights that trials demonstrated GM mustard yields were 28% higher than the traditional Varuna variety and confirmed its safety for cultivation and consumption.   Read the full story in the LiveMint: https://brnw.ch/21wNbC8 #GeneticModification #AgriculturalInnovation #SustainableFarming

Innovation in harvesting technology: Our Split NH cracker! 🔝💡 In agriculture, it is vital to comply with legal requirements - especially when it comes to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Until GMO varieties are officially approved, they must be destroyed on site and made not germinable. This requires special mills or crackers to destroy/crush the crop during harvesting on the plot combine. This prevents different fertilizer effects for the following year's crop. With our new Split NH Cracker option, we are expanding our product portfolio to offer a tailor-made solution for crushing the crop and distributing the crushed material evenly over the entire area harvested. 🌱 📞💬Do you have any questions, or would you like to know more?

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organisms. These organisms whether crops or livestock have gone through various levels of specific trait engineering in order to "improve" their productivity and viability. GMO has been going on for centuries as crops we are familiar with didn't always taste, look, and feel the way they do. As much as genetically modified crops aren't particularly dangerous to humans. In fact they are usually more nutritious, easier to store and transport, less prone to waste due to disease, and more likely to grow in areas with poor-quality soil, they pose a risk to a reduction in biodiversity and have negative impacts on insects and other species . Genetically modified crops are designed to resist🛡️pests, weeds and diseases that try to attack them. But what eventually happens is that overtime, the pests, weeds and diseases build resistance and find new ways to feed off the crops 🪳. This leaves us with a much bigger problem, as farmers eventually resort to using more pesticide and herbicides, causing an increased pollution of our good and environment. Comparing the pros and cons of genetically modified crops, what do you think about this innovation?

Genetically modified maize (corn) is a genetically modified crop. Specific maize strains have been genetically engineered to express agriculturally-desirable traits, including resistance to pests and to herbicides. Maize strains with both traits are now in use in multiple countries. GM maize has also caused controversy with respect to possible health effects, impact on other insects and impact on other plants via gene flow. One strain, called Starlink, was approved only for animal feed in the US but was found in food, leading to a series of recalls starting in 2000. ***@Source: wikipidea -Over 7,000 years, corn has been manipulated and altered—starting with simple domestication and evolving into today’s genetically modified organism (GMO). - 7,000 years ago, corn’s ancestor, teosinte, was a wild, natural plant with small kernels and a hard shell. - Early farmers selected seeds from plants that thrived naturally, creating larger, more edible kernels. - Centuries of selective breeding refined corn into a staple crop. - Then came the rise of modern plant breeding and genetic engineering in 1947. Scientists began altering the DNA of corn to maximize yields, resist pests, and survive herbicides, often at the expense of biodiversity, soil health, and our well-being. Today, GMO corn dominates the market, designed not just for food but for industrial uses, animal feed, and processed products. **Source: Credit to the rightful owner.
