    5:09 and here’s the biggest issue. A lot of people I’ve met that are pro GMO are pro GMO because it saves money, and the reason why a lot of folks I know are pro GMO, and talk about this so much, argue that if we don’t use GMO’s, and use more pesticides instead, it’ll actually cost more, and with the economy going to shit in a lot of places, it’ll actually cost more. I know GMO’s sound scary, but it can actually help save the planet, and help ensure more people get food. It can help a lot. I get being cautious, and I advocate for that, but I also advocate for reading, academic papers especially. I believe in us, we can do this.

      Bangladesh seems to be used as a positive example a lot on this channel. Yesterday I saw a video about overpopulation where the progress of Bangladesh in that regard was shown. Your country apparently as progressed A LOT in the last decades. Very impressive. Here in Germany most what you hear about Bangladesh is that western clothing corporations like H&M mistreat Bangladeshis for cheap clothing. E.g. several years ago the Rana Plaza collapse was everywhere on the news for weeks including interviews with injured workers. But even then it was said that Bangladeshis are starting to found worker unions and that they will gain strength and power over time to fight for worker's rights.

    My grandpa (may he rest in peace) "genetically engineered" a watermelon variety through selective breeding over a couple of decades. Sadly, this variety is gone, it died with him. He spent decades saving seeds from the tastiest and sweetest watermelons from his garden. The end result that I got to see and taste for myself was amazing. So juicy, so sweet, and just the right size for one person to eat. I have never before or since tasted such a delicious watermelon. It's a great shame that the only remaining seeds he had vanished like they did. When I was a kid, I thought those watermelons were what was normal. After his passing, I found out quickly that his watermelons were perfection compared to anything else I have tried. I have given up trying to find a suitable replacement. It has been almost twenty years since his passing.

      Regional breeds all over the south vary widely and even more critical is weather and soil. Not sure why you didn't save some of his seeds so you could have proven, not just boasted, about his craft. Also, this is a common delusion of many people who do not grasp that fact that as their taste buds age they are less sensitive. I have seen countless false narratives blaming farmers for less flavor when it is remained exactly the same or better. Professional tasters know about the age loss and compensate with consultant panels.

      @@popeyegordon I was a teenager when he died. I ate watermelon every summer until after he died. After he died, I went on the hunt for a replacement watermelon with no luck. I didn't save his seeds because they vanished after he died (probably a family member took them without telling anyone). The comparison was back when I was still young and within two years of his last melon. I gave up because nothing was found anywhere near as good as his.

      It's true, but then there's some people actually did the background ressearch before tackling the topic and realized that the matter is a lot more complex than what this highly biaised video would want us to think.
      Here's an excerpt from a 2017 peer reviewed paper:
      *_"Effects of Bt toxins on the immune system have been identified in different species and via different routes, including whole food dietary administration. The observations include studies on mice [45, 46], and pigs [47, 48]. Immune system responses have also been shown for fish [49, 50]. Based on data that were provided to the Indian authorities by Monsanto, Gallagher [51] also assumed immunotoxic reactions in rats: Rats fed with Bt aubergine-producing Cry1Ac protein were significantly less healthy than controls as demonstrated by an increased white blood cell count, eosinophils in particular, and enlarged spleens. Further hepatotoxic effects included elevated bilirubin and acetylcholinesterase."_*
      Curious to read more? here's a nice highlight:
      *_"In contrast to native Bt toxins, there are several reasons to assess in more detail the potential toxicity of Bt toxins expressed in genetically engineered plants: It is known that there are several differences in the structure of the Cry toxin expressed in the genetically engineered plants and those used in traditional mixtures [5, 6]. Traditionally, the Bt protoxin has been used for spraying as protoxin and in crystallised (inactivated) form. However, the Cry toxins expressed in the genetically engineered plants are already solubilised and activated. It is known that changes in the structure of the protein can have considerable influence on the toxicity of the Bt proteins [7]. Therefore, the risk assessment taken from traditional Bt toxins used in biological pest control can only be applied to a limited extent to the Bt toxins expressed in plants._*
      *_Further, the Cry toxins are expressed by the plants throughout the whole period of vegetation, while the traditional sprays are used in a time-limited and targeted manner, if necessary. The sprayed proteins can be expected to mostly degrade, while Bt toxins expressed in plants will be present in the harvest and-depending on further processing-will also be present in feed and food._*
      *_The mode of action of Cry toxins is not fully understood. To some extent it is even a matter of controversial scientific debate [8, 9]. Several authors [10-14] reach different conclusions with regard to the mode of action in target organisms."_*
      If you want to educate yourself on the topic, the source is "Possible health impacts of Bt toxins and residues from spraying with complementary herbicides in genetically engineered soybeans and risk assessment as performed by the European Food Safety Authority EFSA" (i would have put a link, but if i do youtube will consider it as spam and hide it, you can google this and find the paper easily).

      No, because monocultures are horrible for the environment.
      You see all of the animals that exist in our planet depend on plants, and these plants give them food if you remove this food away you destroy species, like bees for example.
      I personally love bees, I always make sure on my farm that bees are welcome, they're super important for pollinating other types of plants.
      Mono culture comes from the greek one, and culture, which is agriculture in modern English.
      Basically it means cultivating one type of plant, and that destroys the environment.
      To prevent the world from losing amazingly unique species we have to stop stacking one type of plant near each other. First of all it reduces the total gene pool of a given plant species which is horrible what that means is that you lose things that you don't even know that could exist yet.
      That's decided by phenotype and genotype of a given seed. The genetics of plants depends on each species and how it distributes chromosomes.
      Personally I didn't study genetics so I can't tell you exactly how that distribution works, but I studied botany and photosynthesis.

      I mean, for plants in the "dirty dozen" it can be the best option, but I would love for more plants to be modified in ways that are more environmentally sustainable. There needs to be more transparency in food labeling as well so people feel comfortable buying GMOs because we don't know which ones are pesticide resistant and got sprayed more. We don't know which ones are actually reducing pesticide use. I know some people assume organic is always healthy or always safest, and that is silly, but it's because of marketing that people think that.

      The only problem I have with "organic" is the cases when it is over-hyped. Some plant types are naturally pretty much able to resist bugs. In fact, when I grow some crops without any pesticides, I follow the recommendation to grow some of those resistant crops nearby. Example, onions and leeks, or garlic. There's no way I would spend the extra money to buy organic garlic, etc.

      Your Grandpa is correct. Bt gmo technology is now being use in Europe as in all over the world. Organic growers have used Bt for decades even injecting some food with Bt. I am sure you have heard of Bt corn. Bt corn contains naturally occurring Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria, a result of recombinant DNA techniques. that selectively kill caterpillar pest. Organic growers have for decades approved sprays containing Bt, a naturally occurring soil bacterium. Bt produces biotoxins lethal to moths,caterpillars and butterflies when ingested. Because it targets these insects' intestinal membranes(ABSENT in HUMANS and ANIMALS ), the EPA considers it benign to non- caterpillar species, including beneficial insects. When Organic growers spray Bt they kill all moths,caterpillars, and butterflies but we do not do that with gmo corn because only corn bore and corn root worms attacks corn so they are the only insects affected. For 80 years farmers like me used dangerous dangerous pesticides to control theses insects but today we do not have to use them thanks to gmo technology. GMO technology is safer for my children, my Wife, our water, our farm, and our environment. WE and YOU should give thanks to almighty GOD for the wisdom of GMO. Technology.

    You mentioned the American Chestnut tree, and we're actually already fixing that. The reason American Chestnuts were essentially wiped out and can't be grown where they used to live anymore is a type of fungus. However, there is now a GMO American Chestnut tree that is resistant, and it will slowly be introduced to the forests alongside the very few that remain, and that will hopefully bring the Chestnut back to its former glory (and maybe save a couple of species that depend on the tree from extinction). As mentioned in the video, Chestnut can absorb tons of CO2 so this would be great for the climate as well.

    • @RechargeableLithium
      @RechargeableLithium Před 7 lety +2

      A lot of, or most, of the American chestnuts were killed by the chestnut blight, but not all. There are plenty of American chestnut in Michigan, Wisconsin, and other areas. While they're outside the original range, climate change is pushing everything north. Some of the original chestnut cultivars are immune to the blight, and they're being grown. See New Forest Farm in SW Wisconsin for one example. Also, there's a cross between the Chinese chestnut and the American that are immune to blight. They were proven in Florida and are scattered around the US. I've got some in central Texas, near the bottom of the original oak savannah. No doubt, some corporations will use 'crispr' to modify the chestnut so they can patent and profit from it, but we don't need them to grow chestnut trees. Finally, ALL TREES extract tons of CO2 from the atmosphere - there's nothing special about the Chestnut in that regard. We need more trees - but we don't need more GMO trees.

    • @AlexanderPavel
      @AlexanderPavel Před 7 lety +20

      The GMO blight resistant Chestnut was developed by the American Chestnut Foundation, not by corporations. Also, the Chestnut trees are a little modified as possible, with only a single gene identified as being the most effective being modified (it's the same gene as in the Chinese Chestnut). They are using a combination of Backcross breeding and GMO versions of American Chestnut trees and have been introducing these trees back into the forests for some time now. It is completely patent free, no one owns the plant.

    • @neticks761
      @neticks761 Před 7 lety +2

      So far Alex you had the most factual information. However since the ACF used traditional breeding techniques to produce the American Chestnut that is 1/16th Chinese Chestnut, it is inherently not a single gene but many that produce the CB resistance. To determine that a single gene transferred occurred one would need a greater level of characterization of each progeny to determine that a single gene was conferred in the cross, which is self defeating for the use of crossing two parent trees to produce a progeny would introduce multiple gene variances. To achieve a single gene transfer one would need more precise techniques (such as the above mentioned CRISPER which still has off target effects) yet the use of such techniques would fall under Genetic Engineering and require more government oversight.

    • @AlexanderPavel
      @AlexanderPavel Před 7 lety +4

      Andrew Gennett They do both backcross breeding and biotechnology: www.acf.org/our-work/biotechnology/
      Quote: "This was an intentional decision to use every tool in our toolbox to address the serious problem of chestnut blight. One of those tools, developed at ESF, involves adding new genes to the American chestnut, which allows the tree to withstand blight with almost no damage. Genes being tested come from the Chinese chestnut and other plants."
      "OxO-containing American chestnuts still have 100% of their native American chestnut genes, and the addition of 2 genes (the OxO and a selectable marker gene) during the transformation process results in a tree that is still >99.999% pure American chestnut."
      Edit: This is still being extensively tested for safety and adverse effects by the USDA, FDA, and EPA, so none of these have been introduced in the wild yet

    As a row-crop producer in the United States, I greatly appreciate your objectivity on this topic. The opposition to GM crops often paint farmers as deliberate abusers of the environment and poisoners of the world. In reality, most farmers are honest, hard-working, and intelligent people-often whose family has taken care of the same parcels of land for multiple generations(even centuries). We utilize modern, data-driven technology to attempt to efficiently feed the growing world in a manner that is both safe and effective, ultimately reducing the overall burden of our practices on the natural landscape. We are far from perfect, though. Modern agriculture and its technology has not been without missteps and shortfalls in the last few decades alone; however, we are continuously learning from these mistakes and evolving our management practices to prevent them from being repeated. I do not speak in certainties, and I hope that some day we do not discover more data that shows harm in our current tools. For now, though, it would be irresponsible for us to overlook GM technology based solely on unproven claims, when it can allow farmers to successfully provide for humanity as it continues to grow.

    As a man who works in agriculture, gmo's are a must farming will become unsuitable due to disease. Look at the potato famine of scotland. Diseases, pests and parasites will eradicate crops one by one, the same for livestock. I have been taught about gmo's and I entirely agree with the video. Making a plant take in more nitrogen won't suddenly make it conscious with tentacles and a thirst for human blood. Shared the video, my mates might learn a thing or two.

      Collective hours. So 600 hours by 12 people is around 50 hours per person. But I'd assume some people contributed more than others, such as the animators and script writers.

      It's indicative of how much actual research they put into this video, which is a good thing. Especially that they've cited all their sources. Sadly, a lot of the GMO deniers will refuse to read facts and then claim that any facts are bias and or fabrications.

    • @popeyegordon
      @popeyegordon Před 2 lety +2

      It is varieties more than modifications that offer longer shelf life. There are many varieties of every food plant so we find the ones that last longest. But that can be taken too far, flavor must not be sacrificed for shelf life. They are all healthy.

      Sadly, I just don't think that is reasonable. Mars has a very unstable environment. I don't know enough to say that it is truly impossible to grow something on the surface of mars, but I do know enough to that is not even on the agenda right now.
      Lets worry about getting people there first. The people on the planet can experiment with that.

    • @SizzleCorndog
      @SizzleCorndog Před 7 lety +10

      I don't think you guys understand what you're asking. Mars is too unstable to grow anything, yes it has the necessary chemicals to grow crops but it doesn't have the proper environment to grow crops. Aside from being cold as shit Mars can't sustain an atmosphere because it lost its magnetic "shield", I don't remember what it's called just that it's magnetic, which is what Earth has and what protects us from the sun boiling away our atmosphere. So to truly "terraform" Mars, you would have to restore this magnetic field and then you would have to convert enough of the atmosphere to make it habitable, you can't just sow a couple of seeds and come back in a century, it's not that simple.
