The first wave of genetically modified (GMO) crops made false promises to reduce pesticide use and create higher yields and profits for farmers \u2013 from cotton farmers in Asia to maize growers in North America. There is very little evidence that this happened and instead the reality is one of increased herbicide use, ecological damage, static or reduced yields, greater farmer insecurity, greater corporate control and industrialisation. North America led the way with false promises but farmers in many countries have paid the price. While opposition within the EU has protected the UK to some extent, Brexit and high tech zeal for gene editing technology are now changing the dynamic for the new wave of modification. The narrative that gene editing (GE) is not GMO and is somehow \u201cakin to nature\u201d is gaining ground even amongst farmers who call themselves \u201cregenerative\u201d and \u201csustainable\u201d. Pro GE legislation is being pushed in the UK and across the EU on the back of yet more false promises and hype.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers:<br \/>\nJim Goodman<br \/>\nGerald Miles<br \/>\nVandana Shiva<br \/>\nLiz O\u2019Neill<\/p>\n<p>Chair:<br \/>\nEle Rose<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/session\/gms-false-promises-could-the-uk-be-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/oxfordrealfarmingconference\/717391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Also check:<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"GSPf63aKsV\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/calendar\/orfc2023-in-the-name-of-the-farmer-vandana-shiva-recalls-a-lifetime-of-campaigning-for-small-scale-farmers\/\">#ORFC23:  In the Name of the Farmer: Vandana Shiva recalls a lifetime of campaigning for small-scale farmers<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/calendar\/orfc2023-in-the-name-of-the-farmer-vandana-shiva-recalls-a-lifetime-of-campaigning-for-small-scale-farmers\/embed\/#?secret=GSPf63aKsV\" data-secret=\"GSPf63aKsV\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;#ORFC23:  In the Name of the Farmer: Vandana Shiva recalls a lifetime of campaigning for small-scale farmers&#8221; &#8212; Navdanya international\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 January 2023 &#8211; 9am GMT Three legendary activists for farmers\u2019 rights tackle the false hope and real threats of genetic modification, sharing what they have learned and how those lessons can be used in the ongoing fight.
