GMO Debate

[{"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":"Nature College invites people to become aware of life itself; of their natural environment and the possibilities that arise when there is a connection with that environment and with the inner, authentic self. From here, a 'sustainability from within' can arise.\n\nNatuurCollege brings researchers, teachers (teams) and artists together to actively experience and research, teach or put into practice this form of relationship and connection. Through intense experience of and with nature, the greater cohesion between man and the world can be shared (wonder), partnerships are formed (connect) and habits and judgments adjusted (change).\n\nThe NatureCollege foundation was founded in 2001 by Princess Irene with the aim of strengthening the relationship between man and nature. The board consists of experienced and enthusiastic pioneers with their own story and a personal bond with the many facets of nature. Their starting point lies in ecology, philosophy, economics, science, entrepreneurship or education."},{"description":"NatuurCollege nodigt mensen uit om zich bewust te worden van het leven zelf; van hun natuurlijke omgeving en de mogelijkheden die ontstaan wanneer er sprake is van een verbinding met die omgeving en met het innerlijke, authentieke zelf.

[{"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.
