GMO Debate

[{"description":"In January 2015, after more than 25 years of \u00abBasel Appeal Against Genetic Engineering\u00bb, the critical, militant association became: \u00abbiorespect\u00bb.\n\nAs before, the association stands as a guarantor for a consistent, critical and factually sound analysis of genetic, biological and reproductive technologies. Our work focuses on the effects of these technologies on people, animals and the environment.\n\nBiorespect is committed to\n\n- for the preservation of biodiversity and quality of life in an intact environment, free from genetic engineering risks\n- for a fairer world, free from patented natural goods\n- for a more humane world with ethically justifiable medicine and research."},{"description":"Nach \u00fcber 25 Jahren \u00abBasler Appell gegen Gentechnologie\u00bb wurde im Januar 2015 aus dem kritischen, k\u00e4mpferischen Verein: \u00abbiorespect\u00bb.\n\nWie bis anhin steht der Verein als Garant f\u00fcr eine konsequente, kritische und sachlich fundierte Analyse von Gen-, Bio- und Fortpflanzungstechnologien. Im Fokus unserer Arbeit stehen die Auswirkungen dieser Technologien auf Mensch, Tier und Umwelt.\n\nBiorespect setzt sich ein\n\n- f\u00fcr die Erhaltung von Artenvielfalt und Lebensqualit\u00e4t in einer intakten Umwelt, frei von Gentech-Risken\n- f\u00fcr eine gerechtere Welt, frei von patentierten Naturg\u00fctern\n- f\u00fcr eine humanere Welt mit ethisch vertretbarer Medizin und Forschung.","lg":"de","primary":true}]

[{"description":"Inf'OGM is an association created in 1999 that publishes independent and critical information on GMOs, biotechnologies and seeds.\n\nAssociation law of 1901, Inf'OGM is a citizen watch that deciphers world news and offers a unique French-speaking information service on GMOs, biotechnologies and, since 2013, also on seeds. Its mission is to promote and nurture democratic debate through critical, independent information that is accessible to all audiences. Inf'OGM works for real transparency in the GMO debate.\n\nGenetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) first appeared in the United States in the early 1990s and on the European market in 1996. Since that time, many questions about economic, health, environmental and ethical impacts have arisen. To respond to this, the European Union first decided to put in place a de facto moratorium in 1999 on new authorizations of GMOs. For five years, many scientific and political elements have shed new light on this issue. The debate continues today within French society and at the international level on the merits of the choice to develop and market this technology and on the legislative framework that must prevail."},{"description":"Inf'OGM is an association created in 1999 that publishes independent and critical information on GMOs, biotechnologies and seeds.\n\nAssociation loi de 1901, Inf\u2019OGM est une veille citoyenne qui d\u00e9crypte l\u2019actualit\u00e9 mondiale et propose un service unique d\u2019information francophone sur les OGM, les biotechnologies et, depuis 2013, \u00e9galement sur les semences.

[{"description":"The purpose of the GMO dangers association is to fight against Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), particularly in agriculture and food, without any political or denominational ties. She defends radical theses, in the sense that she wants to attack the roots (radix, here in Latin) of the problems. The association intends to unmask the different aspects behind GMOs.\n\nWe are a 1901 association declared on May 4, 1999.\n\nSince then, we have participated in more than a hundred radio and television programs, and published several articles in major national newspapers. We were also heard by three parliamentary committees on the subject of GMOs or patents on living organisms.\n\nIn 2003, we organized a scientific symposium on GMOs and their alternatives. The main interventions were published in issue 11 of the journal L'Ecologiste. In 2009 we published a book. In 2018, we participated in the victory of the judgment of the CJEU of July 25, 2018. In 2020, we participated in the victory of the judgment at the Council of State.\n\nWe insist on the multifaceted nature of GMOs (hence the \"s\" for \"dangers\" in the name of the association) and we oppose both GMOs and the artificialization of living organisms which implies them and leads them."},{"description":"L'association OGM dangers a pour objectif de lutter contre les Organismes G\u00e9n\u00e9tiquement Modifi\u00e9s (OGM) notamment dans l'agriculture et l'alimentation, hors de toute attache politique ou confessionnelle.
