Attention to everyone reading the comment section!!!!
‘Popeye Gordon’ is a paid-for person by Bayer (now the parent company of Monsanto). This account has consecutively commented the same thing like a robot. I used to work for a smear company as a software developer and this is exactly what big companies do to discredit genuine videos that show the truth. Just disregard his/her comments
The Patrick conspiratard has 3 followers, I have 60 simply by posting verifiable facts. Typical feedback from my fans: Wednesday A 28 minutes ago
"Popeye Gordon Would you consider uploading videos? You seem to have a firm foundation to build on. I'm serious. You have over 50 subscribers, just on your comments." My answer to Wednesday A - "Thanks but not really interested, I'm far too busy finding and debunking nasty liars every day here. Only half of the days I can find time to search for the new posted videos about GMOs that attack them ignorantly. There are others like me but I do more links that prove I am repeating proven facts, not just trolling based on personal opinions and nonsense the organic farming organizations spread constantly. This hobby is more than a full time job already and it pays only in satisfaction. I highly recommend you visit ground zero for GMO education, the non-profit GeneticLiteracyProject.org where I post every day and there is no propaganda from industry or organic trolls. CZcams is a hot mess."

*GMO 20-year safety endorsement: 280 science institutions, more than 3,000 studies*
"Currently, there is a social and political controversy about the safety of foods produced from genetically modified (GM) crops. However, in the scientific community, there is no dispute or controversy regarding the safety of these crops. To date, more than 3,000 scientific studies [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8] have assessed the safety of these crops in terms of human health and environmental impact. These studies together with several reviews performed on a case-by-case from regulatory agencies around the world have enabled a solid and clear scientific consensus: GM crops have no more risk than those that have been developed by conventional breeding techniques.
In addition, there is also extensive literature that compiles the socioeconomic and environmental benefits that transgenic crops have reported in two decades of commercialization [9,10].
This document brings together the public statements of technical and scientific institutions that adhere to this consensus. I made an update based on this document from ChileBio that initially included 40 official documents representing about 190 institutions - the document from ChileBio was subsequently updated in 2017 with the institutions and statements attached here.
The update shows that 284 technical and scientific institutions recognize the safety of GM crops and their potential benefits. Interestingly a large part of these institutions are located in Europe, the continent that has put more obstacles to the commercialization of these crops. On the other hand, the countries with most organizations in favor of GM crops are United Kingdom (33), United States (25), Italy (23), Spain (16) and Germany (11).
In conclusion, 284 technical and scientific institutions recognize that GM crops are not riskier than those produced by conventional breeding, and/or the potential benefits of these crops."

@@popeyegordon they all are bribed
@@aayushmalik9074 Yes!! Shiva and all other anti-biotech liars are bribed by the organic foods cartel. Organic industry tyranny for 33 years and counting: "Although GMOs are regarded as safe as their conventional counterparts by every major food safety authority in the world, the organic industry spends nearly $3 billion a year through over 330 different organizations leading with fear and “information spin” as an industry to sell their products. By creating an unfounded fear that requires tighter regulations on GMO crops, they are hoping to force them out of the food supply, thereby creating a bigger market share to sell more products in their more than $65 billion wheelhouse.
The unfortunate consequence of these [non-GMO] labels is that the food companies and lobbyists tend to create an unnecessary “us vs. them” divide. When food companies use fear against competitors to sell a product, farmers take it personally."

The crossing of the original and the GMO crops produces terminator or sterile plants.
That is a lie. There are no terminator seeds, that was a fear mongering conspiracy theory made up by organic farming lobbyists. You fell for it. But what those supposedly came from was laboratories, not crossing in the field. That is not possible. Even if it was possible the farmer would only have to buy a little new seed one time, for the very few in each field that became sterile. Farmers don't save seed any more. Hybrid seeds are never saved because they don't repeat their desired traits. geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/08/27/viewpoint-farewell-to-terminator-seeds-1995-2015-the-anti-gmo-movements-favorite-bogeyman/

Enough food, well fyi, more than 40% of food produced it's dumped right into the garbage, companies like mercadona puts freaking cloralex to the vegetables/fruits they dispose. Trouble it's not the lack of resources or food in the world it's the current system, the inequality, there's no need of gmos that even science don't know the exact consequences cause that stuff hasn't been around for so long and also are not being studied enough and even labeled, why would that be? Think about it.
+dsndicmsa being an ignorant?? can't you read that some food chains dump good food instead of leaving it or take it to poor people, in the end its all about profit.
+dsndicmsa the problem is inequality as well, some countries due to climate conditions can't produce their own veg/fru but they have good salaries and they can purchase it instead I'm talking about Nordic countries. If GMOs are not bad for us labeling must be done, why this can't be done? why Monsanto sues farmers and force them to plant their seeds?
Truth118
- Genetically modified crops-primarily corn and soybeans-have not substantially contributed to global food security and are primarily used to feed animals and cars, not people.
- GMO crops in the US are not more productive than non-GMO crops in western Europe.
- A recent case study in Africa found that crops that were crossbred for drought tolerance using traditional techniques improved yields 30 percent more than genetically engineered varieties.
- "Given that creating just one genetically engineered crop variety can cost upwards of $130 million, you'd think Big Ag companies would invest in strategies that have been proven to work and less on GMOs that may not even increase crop yields. But what corporations really care about is increasing their profits, not feeding a hungry world."

Ignorant comment. The exact opposite is happening. Acreage of GM crops has increased by a factor of 113 since 1992 and it continues to grow even faster. Monsanto shut down over two years ago.
One year later, 9 additional countries have adopted GMO crop science. Russia, Cuba, Japan and 6 African nations.

You are right. She does nothing but lie. She never talks with real farmers because she knows she is their enemy. If she debates with real scientists they will tear her lies to shreds so she avoids them.
Ok hold up this video does show that gmos have problems. But one scientist overules everyone in its conclusion in OUR HEADS only. This video is acually quite cynical towards gmos.
*After illegal seed planting in 2019, Indian farmers again demand access to GMO herbicide-tolerant cotton* Cotton growers in Maharashtra are once again demanding permission to sow seeds of herbicide tolerant (Ht) genetically modified (GM) cotton. Former minister of state for agriculture Sudabhau Khot, while speaking to The Indian Express, expressed support for this demand.
Last year in June, the district collectorate of Akola had lodged [complaints] against farmer organizations who had carried out a civil disobedience movement and taken up sowing of non-approved variants. India …. has permitted just one GM crop-BT cotton. This variant was permitted for commercial release in 2002 by the Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC).
Weeding has become a major issue for cotton growers, both due to the cost as well as the labor involved. In Maharashtra, growers said they end up paying as much as Rs 10,000 per acre for the process. With agriculture labor increasingly becoming spare, farmers have been surreptitiously sowing Ht Bt Cotton, relying on seed smuggled from neighboring states." geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/06/03/after-illegal-seed-planting-in-2019-indian-farmers-again-demand-access-to-gmo-herbicide-tolerant-cotton/

@@souadelamraoui2813 This is a lie. Monsanto is GONE. Period. Globally. Monsanto was never in "100 other third world countries". In fact, many countries are making their own GMO seeds now. South Africa, Sudan, eSwatini, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Malawi all have new GMO crops approved for growing in their countries. Maize, cow pea, cotton and soybean. African scientists are now developing and testing new GMO crops for potato, cassava, banana, rice, sorghum and plantain. In almost every case the seeds are given away free to African farmers and they have no patents. These crops are not glyphosate resistant. They resist borer worm pests, drought, blight and other plant pests which results in huge savings for farmers not needing to spend a large percentage of their incomes on pesticides. czcams.com/video/GSES4Sgfa9M/video.html

And it is repeating the lies of a notorious anti-biotech activist Shiva who is paid to lie by the organic industry. *THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE HEALTH EFFECTS OF ANY KIND FROM THE GMO SEED BREEDING METHOD!* GMO is only a breeding method for better crops, it can not be an actual ingredient so there is no way for a non-existent ingredient to cause any negative health effects at all that would not equally be caused by organic foods.

"In June 2014, Indian and international media reported that Navdanya and Vandana Shiva were named in a leaked, classified report by India's Intelligence Bureau (IB), which was prepared for the Indian Prime Minister's Office.[47]
The leaked IB report raises concerns over the foreign-funding of Indian NGOs whose campaigning activities, the report claims, are hampering India's growth and development. In its report, the IB said that Indian NGOs, including Navdanya, receive money from foreign donors under the 'charitable garb' of campaigning for human rights or women's equality, but instead use the money for nefarious purposes. "These foreign donors lead local NGOs to provide field reports which are used to build a record against India and serve as tools for the strategic foreign policy interests of the Western governments," the IB report states.[48]
Investigative journalist Michael Specter, in an article in The New Yorker on 25 August 2014 entitled "Seeds of Doubt",[10] raised concerns over a number of Shiva's claims regarding GMOs and some of her campaigning methods. He wrote: "Shiva's absolutism about G.M.O.s can lead her in strange directions. In 1999, ten thousand people were killed and millions were left homeless when a cyclone hit India's eastern coastal state of Orissa. When the U.S. government dispatched grain and soy to help feed the desperate victims, Shiva held a news conference in New Delhi and said that the donation was proof that "the United States has been using the Orissa victims as guinea pigs" for genetically-engineered products, although she made no mention about that those same products are approved and consumed in the United States. She also wrote to the international relief agency Oxfam to say that she hoped it wasn't planning to send genetically modified foods to feed the starving survivors."[10]
Cases of plagiarism have been pointed out against Vandana Shiva. Birendra Nayak has published on her plagiarism involving copying verbatim from a 1996 article in Voice Gopalpur in her 1998 book Stronger than Steel.[51] Several paragraphs of an article by S Faizi on the Plachimada/Coca-Cola issue published in The Statesman in 2015 were plagiarized by Vandana Shiva in an article she published a year later.[52]
Journalist Keith Kloor, in an article published in Discover on 23 October 2014 entitled "The Rich Allure of a Peasant Champion", revealed that Shiva charges US$40,000 per speaking lecture, plus a business-class air ticket from New Delhi. Kloor wrote: "She is often heralded as a tireless 'defender of the poor,' someone who has courageously taken her stand among the peasant farmers of India. Let it be noted, however, that this champion of the downtrodden doesn't exactly live a peasant's lifestyle."[53] Wikipedia - Shiva

When she attacks GM crops as “poison” and complains about “deadness” in our fields, she sounds like someone who simply doesn’t know what farmers in developing countries really think and do.
As the daughter of a smallholder farmer in India, I agree with Shiva that seeds must remain in the hands of farmers.
This season, when it came time to choose cotton seeds, my father selected a genetically modified variety for one simple reason: GM cotton is a superior plant that has transformed our ability to earn a living.
Professional propagandists like Shiva have frightened many Indians into resisting GM crops."

Monsato is a murderer
Vandana Shiva is a personification of pseudoscience. GMO is safe and gives better yields to farmers.
Pod cast discussion about Shiva's fraud:
"In discussion of genetically engineered crops there is frequent reference to farmer suicides in India. Claims are made that Indian farmers build massive debt for cotton seeds, they become beholden to Monsanto for the money, and then kill themselves.
This story is repeated ad nauseam by Vandana Shiva and others that exploit the untimely deaths of farmers for political gain and to fuel anti-biotechnology sentiment.
Dr. Ronald Herring, a professor of government and international professor of agriculture and rural development at Cornell University, is a social scientist who has studied farmer suicides in India. On the podcast, Herring discusses the complexities of the reasons behind suicides and the role BT cotton has played in Indian agriculture. Guest host Kavin Senapathy interviews Herring and provides perspective of a first-generation Indian-American in the discussion." geneticliteracyproject.org/2016/07/25/talking-biotech-cornell-university-ronald-herring-bt-indian-farmer-suicide/?_page=13&TrendMD&Ancestry_%2526_Evolution_TrendMD_0

"In June 2014, Indian and international media reported that Navdanya and Vandana Shiva were named in a leaked, classified report by India's Intelligence Bureau (IB), which was prepared for the Indian Prime Minister's Office.[47]
The leaked IB report raises concerns over the foreign-funding of Indian NGOs whose campaigning activities, the report claims, are hampering India's growth and development. In its report, the IB said that Indian NGOs, including Navdanya, receive money from foreign donors under the 'charitable garb' of campaigning for human rights or women's equality, but instead use the money for nefarious purposes. "These foreign donors lead local NGOs to provide field reports which are used to build a record against India and serve as tools for the strategic foreign policy interests of the Western governments," the IB report states.[48]
Investigative journalist Michael Specter, in an article in The New Yorker on 25 August 2014 entitled "Seeds of Doubt",[10] raised concerns over a number of Shiva's claims regarding GMOs and some of her campaigning methods. He wrote: "Shiva's absolutism about G.M.O.s can lead her in strange directions. In 1999, ten thousand people were killed and millions were left homeless when a cyclone hit India's eastern coastal state of Orissa. When the U.S. government dispatched grain and soy to help feed the desperate victims, Shiva held a news conference in New Delhi and said that the donation was proof that "the United States has been using the Orissa victims as guinea pigs" for genetically-engineered products, although she made no mention about that those same products are approved and consumed in the United States. She also wrote to the international relief agency Oxfam to say that she hoped it wasn't planning to send genetically modified foods to feed the starving survivors."[10]
Cases of plagiarism have been pointed out against Vandana Shiva. Birendra Nayak has published on her plagiarism involving copying verbatim from a 1996 article in Voice Gopalpur in her 1998 book Stronger than Steel.[51] Several paragraphs of an article by S Faizi on the Plachimada/Coca-Cola issue published in The Statesman in 2015 were plagiarized by Vandana Shiva in an article she published a year later.[52]
Journalist Keith Kloor, in an article published in Discover on 23 October 2014 entitled "The Rich Allure of a Peasant Champion", revealed that Shiva charges US$40,000 per speaking lecture, plus a business-class air ticket from New Delhi. Kloor wrote: "She is often heralded as a tireless 'defender of the poor,' someone who has courageously taken her stand among the peasant farmers of India. Let it be noted, however, that this champion of the downtrodden doesn't exactly live a peasant's lifestyle."[53] Wikipedia - Shiva
