Read ArticleThe fiasco with gene-edited cattle is just more proof that government oversight of this technology is essential.
Read ArticleThe beloved avocado becoming another gene-edited crop is a very unsettling but real prospect.
Read ArticleThis is ominous. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the USDA, FDA and EPA to ease rules for approving genetically modified crops and other agricultural biotechnology.
Read ArticleFor the first time ever, oil made from gene-edited soybeans is being used at a Midwest restaurant — but consumers don’t know they are consuming this risky food product.
Read ArticleThe unintended side effects of animal gene editing confirm the fallacy that scientists know how gene editing works “all the time, under all conditions.”
Read ArticlePro-GMO scientists from Cambridge, Oxford and other top European universities are protesting against an EU ruling which declared that gene editing should be regulated in the same way as GMOs.
Read ArticleIncredibly risky and novel gene-edited foods will be coming to dinner plates soon, but they have escaped important regulation because of a legal loophole.
Read ArticleExploiting a legal loophole, the UK will grow gene-edited plants that aim to produce extra amounts of Omega-3s.
Read ArticleThe USDA just announced that that it will not be regulating GMOs 2.0 — gene-edited plants — and shockingly said that this technology presents no risk.

Read ArticleMove over GMOs. The next big thing organic advocates have to worry about is gene-editing technology, such as CRISPR-Cas9.
Read ArticleUnsurprisingly, the USDA’s proposed regulations to evaluate the next generation of GMOs, such as gene-editing and synthetic biology, are just not enough. Many of these risky crops may escape government oversight entirely.
Read ArticleGene-editing technology is now being used on food, and regulatory oversight and mandatory safety studies are practically non-existent, not to mention a lack of labeling. The only good news is that this technology has been banned in organic.
