#GMO Seed market

[hadesoftheladies]

palestine is a wake up call to all the people in the global south and all countries and peoples that have experienced colonialism by western empires. especially following the western world's response to ukraine.

when you're flooded with footage of children starving, their bodies shredded by missiles, shrapnel and collapsed buildings, when you see once vibrant, beautiful lands reduced in seconds to rubble . . . you realize how easy it is to provoke a white man. all you have to do is a be a person of colour on your land with all its natural resources. that's it. all you have to do is exist on the same soil as your ancestors. and if a white man says you're in the way of his expansion, it doesn't matter what moral ethics you think white people have. it really doesn't matter what you expect of a human being. what conscience you think they have.

you will die. no one will rescue you. they will murder you. torture you. they will justify it. they will make jokes about it. and years later, when it's not too inconvenient for their people to feel guilt, they will feel sorry and still make what they did to you about them. about their "human complexity" and their "nuance." your people will be dead for thousands of years before they "apologize" (not to you but) to their descendants. and even then they'll lie. they'll blame the "internal conflicts of the region." conveniently leaving out who supplies the guns and military gangs. why. what they get in return.

what's happening in congo, tigray, palestine, haiti, iran, afghanistan, etc is not an isolated event. you cannot afford to think so. it's literally what they did from the 17th-20th centuries. the exact same tactics. the exact same propaganda. these are millions of people dying and set up to die within this year alone.

white man sees resource, white man cuts a bloody path toward it. he is superior, so it's his right. it's that simple.

if you are self-righteous about politics (especially toward western empires like france, britain, russia, canada and the u.s., etc.) please understand that the only thing between your "peaceful" or stable country and all-out war is how agreeable you are to the demands of these empires. please don't think these people have evolved or will consider you in any way. they will nuke you, too, if you resist. that isn't peace. we don't have peace with them. they aren't peaceful. complying under threat of war isn't peace. coercion is not consent.

if these insane people can hear from the mouths of their own scientists that their wars are killing their own people and accelerating the death of life on this planet, i don't know why you'd think they have a shred of humanity left in them. that there's anyone in this life they could possibly care for.

reject that lie. that you can appeal to their humanity. how many fucking "peace talks" have we had since hitler? for fucks sake. begin to build your community and focus your aid and efforts on each other. be aware, but also think smaller. focus on local businesses and markets rather than imports. let's change the way we consume (this is hugely important). wherever you are, whichever people concern you, take care of your own communities. give back. even if you're part of the diaspora. just find a way to give back and strengthen your communities. don't let "the drain" empty out in the west. i'm not claiming its simple work, or that i have all the answers. i'm just saying increase your awareness of how these empires and their propaganda function and don't give into them however you can afford to. you know what you can do. you know your own communities and countries better than i do. and we all know that one of the prime ways the empires keep us weak is by destroying or own intracommunity solidarity.

because there is no UN we can appeal to. there is no western "mediator" we can rely on.

they'd kill us all if it wouldn't tank their economy.

internalize that. don't ever let them coax any trust out of you. there is no "international unity" we can have with them because their prosperity will always require our suffering. resist, at least, by reclaiming your mind from them. see them outside of how they have conditioned you to see them. every time your president shakes one of their hands, see the blood smearing them.

don't trust a single word out of their dirty, lying mouths.

Genetically Modified (GMO) Seeds Market Set To See Strong Growth by 2030

The genetically modified (GMO) seeds market refers to the production, sale, and distribution of seeds that have been genetically modified using biotechnology techniques. These seeds have been engineered to possess certain desired traits, such as resistance to pests, diseases, or herbicides, increased yields, and improved nutritional content.

For Download Sample Report Click Here: https://www.globmarketreports.com/request-sample/255904

The global GMO seed market has been growing in recent years, driven by the increasing demand for food and the need for higher crop yields to meet the growing population’s food requirements. The market is dominated by a few multinational companies such as Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer CropScience, DowDuPont, and BASF, who invest heavily in research and development of new GMO seed technologies.

However, the GMO seed market is also controversial due to concerns about the safety and environmental impact of genetically modified crops. Many consumers and environmental groups argue that GMO crops could harm biodiversity and potentially pose risks to human health, while the industry argues that GMO crops are safe and beneficial.

The use of GMO seeds is regulated by different regulatory bodies around the world, with some countries having strict regulations and others allowing GMO crops to be grown more widely. The debate over the use of GMO seeds is likely to continue as the market continues to grow, and concerns about food security and sustainability become increasingly pressing.

Seed Sourcing Guide: An Opinion

i was listening in on a seed saving nerd zoom meeting last night when one of the best quotes ever said was said said: "the best seed 'store' is your own backyard." and the lady is totes right. downside is... you gotta source the seeds before you start saving them. with it being seed buying season, and a lady totally saying the best quote for any and all seed nerds to fuel my drive to finally sit down and write this, i have come up with:

tier list for seed sourcing websites NOT SPONSORED BTW

✨ top tier best tier ✨

ok so, i never really heard of true leaf until last year. but i have been sourcing almost all of my seeds from them since! they're not the same grow zone as me, but utah has some of the best soil in the nation so maybe that's why their seeds are the absolute best when it comes to germination. they also have a huge variety of seeds, all gorgeously designed in a quick-to-understand format (like their icons for heirloom versus hybrid, container friendly or not, etc.) their information is all legit and comprehensive as shit. my microgreen farmer friend gets all his microgreen seeds from here, too. couldn't recommend them enough!

if your looking for tomatoes specifically, then tomatofest is legit the best. they were recommended to me a few years ago by my farmer mama, and legit they are the best for any and all tomato types. if i ever need a new tomato variety, this is where i go no matter what. if they don't have it, then must not be worth growing. germination rate is always high, the plants come out great, and always fast with shipping.

i have not met a home gardener or farmer friend who doesn't have hoss in their seed library. their selection is small and their website is mid, but damn do they have the best germination rates out there along with the healthiest looking plants i ever did done see or grow. and tbh that's really what matters at the end of the day - not the germination rates, or shipping, or quantity, but rather how the vegetable or fruit plant thrives and produces. and hoss ticks off all those boxes beautifully.

😐 middle tier is mid 😐

eden brothers is mid tier only because i have attempted to germinate about 12 different seed types from them over the past 5 years and never have i ever gotten anything better than 10% germination rate. but their BULBS, their bulbs are absolutely amazing! if i need a flowering bulb to add to my cut flower garden, then this is where i source them from. never any issues with molded bulbs, and they grow true to what they say they will and how (so information is accurate). just... don't bother with the seed section.

i really truly and honestly and want to put renee's garden seeds in top tier... but i have tried over 20 different herb seeds from renee's and the herbs just never germinate. ever! the flowers, amazing. the vegetables, pretty good. selection, absolutely amazing. but the herbs, bro i don't know where they're sourcing their herbs from but it ain't happening. at least for me. maybe others more north would have better luck.

grow organic is great for supplies such as fertilizers and such, but not so much for seeds. i sourced my California softneck garlic from them and they were wonderful. i've had another farmer friend say she gets all her onion starts from them as well and her onions are phenomenal. but i've tried only 3 seed varieties from them with decent germination but didn't live long at all. if you're looking for tubers or vegetable bulbs, then totes. otherwise, be weary of the seeds even if the germination is great. (me thinks they save seeds regardless of how the plant lived, compared to saving seeds only from healthy plants.)

💀 worst tier don't bother 💀

johnny seeds used to be my go to for seeds when i was only focused on transplants. this was because they're the only one who sells in bulk, and honestly that's the only perk for them. you have to buy their seeds in bulk to get any decent germination out of them. but if you want 200 basil plants, then buying 500 basil seeds from them will be just fine. if you just want 2 basil plants, then don't even look at this website. they have one of the best seed starting soil mixes, but the shipping costs more than the soil. and they have some nice supplies. but this is a seed tier list, not a supplies tier list.

hopefully the fiasco with the purple galaxy tomato in January of 2024 has shed some light to how bad this company is, but if not then i'm including them on this list. they were pretty bad before that, but at least they live up to their name. i have sourced a few vegetables from them, but only because nobody else had them. which honestly should be a red flag. BUT c'est la vie, i bought seeds from them 3 years ago and haven't gone back. they're overpriced, germination rate is OK but considering the price tag their germination rate should be better and they're not. they try to pull themselves off as the "small guy" when they're clearly not.

https://www.burpee.com/

burpee seed company is legit the worst. they're so bad that a link to their website breaks tumblr and makes my tier list look ugly. they might lure you in with their gorgeous website, and with the huuuuge variety they have. but the website NEVER works, the varieties are almost 99% hybrids that don't grow or produce well, and the germination rate is abysmal. yes, they sell in all major and minor box stores but that's because capitalism, not because they're the best. stay. away.

🏅 honorable mention 🏅

so first off, let me say i have never bought from this website. but i have been gifted many seeds from them from several people. not sure if that's good or bad, hence the honorable mention category.

the seeds i've been gifted from 3 different farmers, and they're all winter varieties. and they've all done amazing!! i did buy some flower and herb seeds from the local hardware store, and the seeds were acceptable for germination rate. i do not blame that on the company, though, since that hardware store is so old school that they don't even have A/C inside. creaky wood floors, smells like old metal, that kind of hardware store. so not the best environment to store seeds in. but i will be buying some for this year to try out directly from their website, seeing as how if 2 year old seeds germinate pretty good and ones stored in horrible conditions are OK then fresh from the source MUST be great!

📝 let me know who i forgot and where you would rank them 📝 plz thnx luv u

maybe i'll do a tier list for even smaller seed companies, like my size seed companies?? whatchu think?? i've only tried a few so it would force me to try out some more!

The World Food Summit of 1996 approached food security through the principles of ensuring there is enough safe and nutritious food that can be accessed daily to meet healthy dietary needs and food preferences. By definition, this is a desirable and worthy goal. However, in the years since, food security has developed into a paradigm which does not question the underlying power dynamics and the reproduction of material conditions that make food insecurity a permanent feature of the global order. At its core, the food security paradigm deals only with access to food, without challenging the political and economic structures that determine and control access, as well as distribution.  By failing to address the root causes of hunger and famine, the food security paradigm makes it impossible to end hunger globally. Of course, many people worldwide possess food security, but this is restricted to increasingly limited geographic pockets. In terms of the people localised in one area, food vulnerability is influenced and determined by class, race, gender and, of course, citizenship status. Globally, “underdevelopment” and “de-development” lead to widespread food insecurity across areas. Another problem with the food security paradigm is that it is easily co-opted to generate partial answers that pose no threat to the corporate food system, or worse, that even open up new profit opportunities. Accelerated by other crises, the food security paradigm becomes ever more dependent on aid, be it through direct food delivery, cash transfers or small development projects that cannot compete with the food giants and their price-setting powers. In practice, a “science of food security” emerges, one which takes as its focus calories and the output that is compatible with precision agriculture having the aim to increase crop yields and to assist management decisions using high technology sensor and analysis tools. This model tends to be reliant on “Green Revolution” technologies that rely on chemical fertilisers and pesticides and that are tied to colonial projects and corporations, in order to optimise resources in aid response and/or development projects.  In this rationale, food insecurity can be addressed by reaching optimum yields of certain crops that should meet the demand for fats, fibres and protein. All of this is carefully managed and data-driven. Precision farming is advocated by the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) with the objective of optimising, “agricultural value chains […] critical in advancing food and nutrition sufficiency without increasing the size of land under cultivation.” The framing of food that reduces it only to “optimal input” relegates vital elements of food production and the culture of eating, like territory ownership, taste, heritage, care, well-being and connection as secondary. This reductionist approach has, though, proved useful to corporate agriculture, since it reinforces the case for genetically modified crops (GMOs), more efficient fertilisers, and the standardisation of food production for market purposes. Advocates of plant breeding technologies (including GMOs and hybrid seeds) argue that government overregulation is an obstacle to achieving food security. Overregulation, as the argument goes, denies populations the opportunity to grow crops that have increased nutrient use efficiency and are more resilient to climate shocks. 

[...]

The paradigm of food security is about optimising productivity. It’s true that productivity matters – after all, feeding the world requires enormous quantities of food. But if productivity is approached solely as a technological problem, it reinforces the tendency to fragment the quantitative and qualitative aspects of food production and consumption. On the quantitative side, production for food security is viewed as a challenge of multiplication. Whereas division, that is, distribution of food, is left to logistical planning. This ignores what Raj Patel identified in his influential 2007 book Stuffed and Starved, as the bottleneck of power that concentrates international food distribution among a small set of corporations. This bottleneck excludes the poor and small-scale food producers from decision-making. It also normalises worrying tendencies, such as an overreliance on industrial animal exploitation as a protein source, which has direct health implications, as well as longer term consequences like the proliferation of new viruses, greenhouse gas emissions and inefficient use of water and soil.

Notes: Made egg bites this morning and was like ‘now I have to know how Bleach characters would make egg bites with me’ (these notes are from a week ago but it still stands true because Ive been prepping them every Monday morning lately lmao).

How They Egg Bite:

Ft. Kenpachi, Nanao, Unohana, Shunsui, Giselle, and Mayuri

Kenpachi Zaraki: Doesn’t bother with pre-heating the oven or mixing the ingredients beforehand. Just cracks eggs into a muffin pan and stirs them with a chopstick (he started using his finger but you protested greatly to that). He seasons them well, but only has salt and furikake on hand. His favorite part is cracking the eggs with just his fingers and watching you gawk over the clean breaks.

Nanao Ise: Has her eye half-on a recipe card the entire time. Everything is weighed and sorted before she begins mixing. Mis en place is her best friend and you her trusted sous chef. She tries to arrange the veggies into cute animal faces but gets embarrassed and mixes them back to random before shoving the muffin pan in the oven, blushing as you remark what a shame it is. She takes a picture to file away with the recipe card out of habit. There is a photo album of cooked creations.

Retsu Unohana: Rather annoyed at the process of pouring even portions of mixture into the muffin pan. Gives you a long, hard smile when you point out the first one has way more egg mix than the rest. Attempts mis en place but prefers keeping busy and indulging in chaos. Her favorite part is the wait for them bake, smelling the ogon peppers roast. She pours your tea with a heavy hand and a smile comes lighter as you struggle to blow on the curling heat without spilling.

Shunsui Kyoraku: Plays coy with his cooking ability, if only to lure you in front of him so he can ‘watch and learn’ with his arms around you. Has a precise cut with the peppers and stirs just the right amount of spinach in. He borrowed one of Nanao’s recipe cards and insist you take a selfie with the egg bites for her records. Absolutely gets distracted and asks you take his picture in an apron. And to be fair you should too! The egg bites are very overcooked from his distractions. He soaks them in green tea.

Giselle Gewelle: Tests the limits of what food coloring can do and alternates between sparkly purple eggs topped with pink stained green onions and a dour brown mixture decorated with bean sprouts tied like bows, smothered in beet juice. They’re bland and undercooked despite staying in longer than necessary. She smothers them with ketchup and feeds them to you, laughing when you pull a sour face. She refuses to try them and orders take out immediately after.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi: Uses egg from a source that’s in development and not yet on the market. Definitely not cage free. All the veggies are on the mundane side of GMO. Tougher flesh and large seeded tomatoes for better texture and nutrients. Mushrooms that transcend uncanny valley in how alike to meat they taste…okay so not too mundane. Does enjoy a good gadget, like a lid that seals over your mixing bowl and releases mixture in timed spurts. Ends up drinking his half of mixture raw and cooks it in his esophagus. He absolutely talks you through the process.

As we head into 2025, you can make a unique impact. A gift to GMO/Toxin Free USA helps combat GMOs and harmful synthetic chemicals, promote organic solutions, and protect consumers from corporate deception.

Through December 31, donations will be matched up to $20,000. Would you pitch in to help us take advantage of this incredible opportunity? Your gift of $15 will become $30. Your gift of $25 will become $50. Time is running out.

For over a decade, GMO/Toxin Free USA has been a leader in public education on GMOs, synthetic pesticides and toxins in our food system and environment. We’ve reached millions of people through our unique social media efforts, generating awareness, informing, fostering individual change and civic action.

The billionaire-owned corporations and media continue to work against us. But with your gift today , we can make a difference and secure the future that we all deserve.

In November of 2019, we broke the news that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had just approved the first-ever genetically engineered animal for human consumption, AquaBounty’s GMO salmon. This social media post was shared by over 29,000 people and seen by over 2 million.

In fact, we had been generating awareness and campaigning against AquaBounty’s GMO salmon since 2012, knowing that the federal “regulatory” agencies are rarely on our side.

Earlier this month, December 2024, we were happy to announce that AquaBounty was shutting down operations, unable to secure a market for their GMO salmon. This couldn’t have happened without your support and the tireless dedication and work of our staff.

We’ve helped to ensure that GMO salmon will not be on the plate of any American. But as you probably know, the fight is far from over.

Biotech corporations are lining up to sneak gene-edited GMO fruits and vegetables onto our plates. A company called Pairwise has teamed up with Bayer-Monsanto to bring gene-edited leafy greens, blackberries, cherries and more, to market. This new wave of GMOs, made using newer genetic engineering techniques like gene-editing and Synthetic Biology, are not required to be labeled.

And there are corporations that are targeting home gardeners and small market farmers with GMO seeds. This is something we’ve not seen before. As far back as 2014, we began raising awareness about the development of a GMO Purple Tomato. But in the spring of this year, Norfolk Plant Sciences began selling seeds directly to consumers, branded as the Empress Purple Tomato or simply The Purple Tomato.

Just four corporations control and sell over half of all seeds globally, both GMO and non-GMO – Bayer-Monsanto, Corteva, ChemChina-Syngenta, and BASF. The number of independent seed companies is declining due to consolidation. This is a dangerous trend.

That's why GMO/Toxin Free USA recently launched the Seed Integrity Pledge for Safe Seeds, a website dedicated to educating the public and supporting independent seed companies that have taken the Safe Seed Pledge to not sell genetically engineered seeds.

Projects like these require knowledge, time, and staff.

This December, several of our historical donors have pooled resources and pledged to match donations up to $20,000. Would you help us reach this milestone? A gift of any amount will go twice as far.

And don’t forget. There are other ways to give that may provide you with increased tax savings. Learn more on our Ways to Give page.

Thank you so much for your support. We hope you have a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!

Let’s make 2025 a year with more victories.

Foreign governments were buying up American farmland throughout Trump's entire presidency, but now he wants to stop only China from doing so. He had no problem with it during his administration. He also promoted and made it easier for GMOs to go to market through an executive order. GMO crops use terminator seeds that farmers cannot save, causing farmers to buy seeds each season, making it more expensive for farmers to grow crops. Trump hurt farmers during his administration and helped big corp Monsanto.

Let's do a quick RFK Jr. themed debunk-a-thon.

First, your appearance is not an indication of health. People with terminal cancer can have six pack abs and overweight lifelong smokers have lived to be 100.

Second, physical fitness does not mean you have the knowledge and expertise of a doctor. A 70 year old with abs is probably on a boatload of steroids and actually increasing health risks. A doctor would probably say you shouldn't take steroids without some actual need beyond biceps you can brag about.

And the analogy of the personal trainer is faulty as well. There are plenty of people who are good at advising people without being able to do the thing they are giving advice for.

Athletic coaches are a great example.

A lot of the winningest NFL coaches were mediocre high school or college athletes. And their physique usually resembles that of Santa Claus.

But they get Super Bowl rings along with everyone else on the team.

Doctors are known for being the "worst patients." Many of them are so overworked that they turn to vices to help relieve their stress. They can overeat or smoke. They might be too tired to have any kind of fitness routine. My good friend Dr. Kevin has to wrangle three daughters while running a pediatric rheumatology department. He's the smartest person I've ever personally known and a fantastic doctor. But he will not be winning any bodybuilding contests.

RKF Jr. has a lot of money and time and access to personal trainers and nutritionists and human growth hormone. But sure, let's let him do some heart surgery and see how it goes.

Let's move on to some of his biggest concerns regarding our societal health...

Current evidence suggests…

Aspartame is bad for rats if you fill them with an obscene amount. And it *might* be bad for humans if you drink 15 cans of soda every day. (More nuance here.) Dosage matters! Remember, dihydrogen monoxide is poisonous if you are very motivated to make it so.

High fructose corn syrup is bad for you. Because sugar is bad for you. And they are functionally the same. Switching to cane sugar will not magically make people healthier. (More nuance here.)

A lot of processed foods are unhealthy. But probably not because they are processed. It just so happens that most processed foods are soft, easy to eat quickly, and they have a lot of fat, salt, or sugar, while being very calorie dense. They are often super tasty to the point of being psychologically addictive. That is a perfect storm of factors making processed foods very easy to overeat. The idea that the act of processing food causes some extraordinary harm outside of the ingredients already being unhealthy is most likely a myth. (More nuance here.)

Similarly, seed oils are not causing harm outside of them often being used to cook calorie dense food with a lot of fat, salt, or sugar.

Food dyes are safe in normal amounts. The concerning studies gave kids two colored drinks along with a shitload of candy every single day for two weeks. The problems went away when the amount was reduced to moderate levels. (More nuance here.)

Supplements are mostly an expensive way to fortify your pee with vitamins. You are literally pissing money away. You really only need to supplement something you are personally deficient in. Though if you can get those vitamins from food or sunshine, you will probably more effectively absorb them. I use supplements because my disability keeps me from being able to consistently cook or go outside. Just because something is "natural" does not mean it can replace actual medicine.

Organic food is not special and has become marketing hype.

GMOs are fine.

And finally…

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM.

Vaccines are safe and effective and they are probably the best thing humans have ever created. They have saved millions of lives. Many of those lives were CHILDREN. (More nuance here.)

The other problem is that RFK speaks definitively and bombastically. Food dyes give you ADHD. Seed oils explode your heart. Corn syrup makes your toes fall off. Processed foods make you a bloated zombie. Vaccines alter your DNA and turn you into a mutant.

It's fear mongering, plain and simple.

He is not interested in making anyone healthy, he just wants to scare you into believing his conspiracy theories. He uses the tiniest nugget of truth or suspicion and elevates it to fact whenever it helps his agenda.

Or he skips the nugget altogether and just blatantly makes shit up.

Because I have, ya know, ethics... I have to say "nuance here" because a lot of this stuff is very complicated and you can't actually say anything with 100% certainty. And that uncertainty is how he weasels his ideas into the public consciousness. When science updates our understanding of something, people say the science was wrong. "First they said this and now they say this!" Having better information is not a failure—it's progress. It is just the process working as it should. But they use that to hurt the reputation of science and scientists.

Scientific consensus is always just the best representation of our knowledge at any given point in time. We would never be able to eat any food or take any medicine if 100% certainty was required. We'd all starve and die because we weren't allowed to take even the most marginal of risks.

This is going to be a long 4 years.
