After conducting a thorough and scientifically detailed investigation into the detection last year of genetically engineered (GE) wheat growing in a single field on a single farm in Oregon, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has concluded that the presence of the GE wheat appears to be an isolated incident.

The Environmental Protection Agency today gave the green light to an herbicide designed for use with new genetically modified corn and soybeans.

CBAN: Canada has approved 2,4-D and dicamba tolerant GM corn and soy. On October 15, 2014, the US government also approved Dow's 2,4-D/glyphosate herbicide mix, to go along with GM 2,4-D tolerant crops. Now Dow AgroSciences has all the approvals it needs to start marketing these GM herbicide tolerant crops in Canada and the US.

Center for Food Safety: CFS condemned the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to approve Dow Chemical’s Enlist Duo herbicide, a new blend of 2,4-D and glyphosate intended for use on Dow’s patented 2,4-D resistant (Enlist) genetically engineered corn and soybeans. EPA’s approval was the final hurdle for the heavily criticized new crop system and paves the way for commercialization and planting.

When it gets dark, we use streetlights to light our way, but what if we could replace them with a greener alternative -- like glowing plants? Thanks to science, this unusual concept could one day become reality.

The fashion and foreign auto industries are playing a unique and surprising role in benefiting farmers who are taking an active role in diversifying their farms and marketing their products.

When clothes and auto parts are shipped into the United States from other countries, it creates an abundance of empty containers that need to be returned. Sending those containers back full is much more cost effective and efficient then shipping them empty. And as it turns out, the situation creates a perfect opportunity for U.S. farmers to fill the niche market for non-GMO soybeans in southeast Asia.

The DeLong Company, which is based out of Clinton, Wis. and has a location in rural northwest Ohio, helps area farmers take advantage of the demand by offering contracts for non-GMO food grade corn and soybeans at a premium. In the village of Kirby, Ohio — with a population under 150 — the elevator can house nearly 1 million bushels of grain. In a year’s time, they can turn that over more than twice with local specialty crops that comes in from farms within a 60- to 70- mile radius.

The median cost of labeling genetically modified ingredients on grocery products would equate to an additional $2.30 per consumer each year, according to a new report sponsored by Consumers Union and conducted by ECONorthwest, an economics consulting firm in the Pacific Northwest.

American farmers in three states are suing seed giant Syngenta AG in billion-dollar lawsuits, alleging that the company harmed U.S. corn markets when it released a new genetically altered strain of corn that wasn’t approved by Chinese authorities.

It was revealed last month that regulators are trying to figure out why a rogue patch of genetically modified wheat popped up on a Montana farm. The news startled GMO critics and supporters — although for different reasons.

The sight and sound of Iroquois white corn being roasted and turned is the progress of a culture bringing back traditional food for health and tradition. It's a food used widely by the Iroquois for at least 2,000 years. (.....) For first time in 300 years, 3.5 acres of Iroquois white corn is available at Ganondagan. The Iroquois White Corn Project was started by Dr. John Mowhak after being concerned about Native American nutrition and diabetes. He thought the project was a way to not only return to physical health but spiritual tradition. After his passing, the project was moved to Ganondagan. It's considered to be a non-GMO project verified and gluten-free food. The products are now offered in grocery stores.

Will the crazy GMO-creations ever come to a halt? Are our crops not enough for biotech? GM mosquitoes developed by Oxitec, a UK company, were already released in other countries as a means to control disease. The company is also trying to release them in the Florida Keys, while working to release GM olive flies in Spain. But it gets even more bizarre – now Oxitec wants to release GM moths in New York.
