technically, it's to make it more tolerant to the roundup or equivalent.

This. We don't know the long term effects of eating crops laced with pesticide that would kill a normal plant but not one that is biologically resistant to it.

Throw in the fact that these plants don't germinate and farmers end up paying subscriptions to GMO crop companies to get their supplies each season and you have a recipe for a handful of companies owning or having direct control over the vast majority of arable land in the world.

I worked with a Dutch company that went up in an american conglomerate of Seed production (americans buying up means of production in global food control? well I never!) and it's true, you pay for these resistant seed subscriptions and if you stop paying you cannot get the crops anymore and will have to defer to another but sadly the world is in hands of these large multinational mega corps that run world food production.

It also seems that seed coating also makes sure that only resistant seeds from that company grow there, so if you go off subscription other company's shit won't grow on your land anymore.

My only guess: lobbied by some big local businessmen. Not sure if they have enough money though. If they can't adapt modern cheap technologies fast enough, they will lose to imports.

Not my problem. Cheaper production will not make food cheaper or better for consumers here. Did it happen in America or anywhere else? Imported vegetables have no taste and they're tough as nuts to keep shape in containers. I don't care if I sound hippie (our hipsters are turbo-pro-GMO by the way) but I prefer normal natural food. I don't know how do they make tomatoes to have less flavor, if they're GMO or not, I just want tasy and safe food. No matter the technology.

People forget that problems GMOs are supposed to solve are just here because of the few megacorps producing the seeds.

Plants could find find a different habitat on the other side of a hill, so it is idiotic to assume that CurrentSupercropZ8 would perform well on every place it's planted.

But Anon, I hear you say, there are different crops for different habitats. That is true but there variety is still very limited opposed to local seeds that are able to be produced after a few generations which will be perfectly suited for exact this local climate.

People seem to forget that main goal for GMOs is to produce a crop that is most easily to transport and will stay visually fresh as long as possible.
Everything else like durr africans can plant them is deserts to feed themselfs is bullshit. As if they would have the money to buy it from them.

Round-Up resistant crops and BT crops are a dead end technology. Weeds are already evolving a resistance to Round-Up and bugs will develop a resistance to BT toxins. This is basic biology.

>>81324441
There isn't enough evidence to pin that on GMOs. It is also likely that relying on NPK fertilizer and not ensuring basic soil health beyond that plays a role. Even non-GMO cultivars often have less nutrition in them than crops did 60 years ago. GMO or not, we need to step back and take a good, hard look at our entire agricultural system.

Russians are a technocratic people, the government doesn't see any real health risks with GMO products. The fact of the matter is that 95% of the food produced in Russia is not GMO while in the West it's the opposite. So why did they ban GMO? To have people buy local growth food so the country is more self sustaining and the babushkas that have like an 90% voter turnout are happy.

What is an allergen? You know, people with multipersonality disorder have allergies in one personality and wont have it in the other. Genuinely.

The whole situation, if you`ll look into it, threatens materialism greatly.

As for normie-arguments: currently no sufficient labeling is in place and allergy mechanism research is insufficient.
Probably ban is still an overreaction here. So I guess it`s ban on genekike.
USofNA never for a single day cancelled sanctions over Russia since it came to existence, they just sometimes postponed it, no matter how democratic we was compared to USSR. So there is no need to play with egalitarianism meme any more. We do not want any non-shilling-for-Russia products here, if it`s not about survival. GMO is not about survival. And even if it would, we'll probably be better off developing our own vitamin rice.

That is only partially true. If you get hybrid seeds, some of them have human induced male cytoplasmic sterility that gets passed on through the mother's side. In other words, the plants can produce seeds if pollinated, but they cannot produce viable pollen. Also, if you are talking plants that are traditionally cloned, getting true seed can be difficult because of epigenetics and chromosomal damage, but that can be undone. Garlic and many potato cultivars are this way.

Beyond that, go to any reputable nursery or online seed shop and get heirloom or just open pollinated seed and you will be able to grow plants that produce an abundance of seeds.

>>81326988
the point is that most of the time farmer just re-buy their seeds anyway, and the being sterile part is not a defining properties of GMOs, it happens only with corporation produced seed.
Many GMOs from public research in europe have been planned to work like every other seed, but the anti-GMO luddite outcry produced bans on research.
here in italy several university were researching new GMOs for kiwis, apples and oranges if I recall correctly, that would have been resistant to certain species of parasites through natural proteins from other species, and they would have been distributed freely, as a new variety. But research has been stopped, the kiwis plant have been burned and the apple seed are tucked away in some forsaken drawer.

GMO is incapable to produce after 3-5 generations. Corporations just exploit the resource of their seeds to produce more. Why would they sell you 1st generation seeds without any guarantee on how much generations would it grow further?

GMO is not infertile. It produces a lot of defective offsprings in the next generations.

Any GMO, even non-corporate GMO, even bacterial GMO.

That`s not intentional. That`s modern genetics level. Because they cant encode genes as nature does, compressing one gene into another, interlock multiple genes together. They cut the DNA chain and put the needed gene in this cut. Breaking adjacent genes and not defending inserted gene from pathogenes. They break natural genetic immune system to create GMO and it cant live in nature.

That's not entirely true. Maybe early versions of GMOs sure, but you can express genes in cells for years, like human life expectancy or longer.

>virus

The BT gene is a natural product of a certain type of weed, it was noticed that corn borer worms didn't eat it and the ones that did died.

So this natural gene, that does not transfer to the seed that the corn plant produces anyways, was put into the corn plant to keep the farmer from having to make an extra pass with the sprayer. Meaning less chemicals on your food.
