Exxon’s interest in algae-based biofuels dates to 2009, when it unveiled a $600M investment in algae with Synthetic Genomics, a biotech company co-founded by Craig Venter. In 2017, Exxon Mobil & Synthetic Genomics announced a big breakthrough using the gene-editing tech #CRISPR.

Parents shouldn't need a PhD to feed their children nutritious food!

This is a fascinating conversation that brings out the differences between Slovakia, which has filed a lawsuit challenging the new #GMO laws at the Court of Justice of the European Union, and countries with governments that have fortified themselves against public opinion.
As Slovakia files legal challenge to GMO deregulation in Europe, GM Freeze’s Leonie Nimmo talked with Samuel Matejíčka from quid est VERITAS to find out more about the campaign: gmfreeze.org/2026/09/23/slov… #GMOs #NGTs #NotoGMOs

Spoiler: researchers found 236 fungal proteins and 93 unidentified compounds in #synbio milk they tested. They ask, "shouldn’t that finished product be thoroughly characterised before we conclude that it is safe for widespread and repeated consumption?" @GMWatch

US Supreme Court gave pesticide companies immunity. There is still a better path forward. "We do not need to settle for a broken pesticide regulatory system. Let’s make the effort to stop playing defense and do this right," says Rob Faux @pesticideaction panna.org/news/scotus-gave-p…

Perfecta 3D-printed meats rely heavily on soy flour and soy protein. In the US, the vast majority of soy is #GMO.
In the US, 3D-printed steaks and chicken breasts have gone on sale Under the Perfecta brand, plant-based patties with the taste of salmon and white fish have also been released. 3D printing is used to imitate the fibers and “marbling” of real meat. Sales have started in stores in the northeastern United States.

On World Food Day, it's worth counting the cost of the Gates Foundation's failure to end hunger in Africa. What should come next are not more dollars to the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa, but reparation for its harms. ft.com/content/fff4d860-5652…
