@wef These are raw numbers, wouldn't it be more meaningful to have the value per capita?

@RobertWager1 I am curious where we can access the latest biosafety bill language or a review of the latest provisions.

And MLK also spoke out against war and the cost of the Vietnam war shifting spending on domestic programs that help the poor into the military. Sound familiar? https://t.co/3wCDBzs2tn

There is no shame among anti-GMO activists. Some even claim to support women, who have the most to gain from biofortified and genetically improved crops in many parts of the world. https://t.co/XiooSieaBA

Even as children go blind and die from vitamin A deficiency, anti-GMO groups are making a last-ditch attempt to stop the deployment of enriched @Golden_Rice, reports @mark_lynas.https://t.co/DlxwtpLDVd

No-till has been made possible using cover crops sensitive to glyphosate and planting a glyphosate resistant crops using drilling. The cover crop can then be sprayed and the growing resistant crop is nourished, soil moisture and nutrients are retained and weeds inhibited. https://t.co/bFD9B9k1To

China is Oregon's number one international trade partner. The growing trade war is likely to hit Oregon farmers hard with tariffs being announced on hazelnuts, cherries, and several kinds of berries, huge crops in the Willamette Valley. https://t.co/s9mTRpZ6XE

science Institutions need to provide conditions to people that have family, women or men, so that they can do all. They can take the lead. Also role models are important.

@regeneration_in The study does not say that. It says that data suggests that AMP grazing can reduce greenhouse gasses that is a very specific type of grazing, not all grazing. It also said nothing about GMO's.

Having José Eduardo dos Santos out of power has freed up the state to go after corruption. I wish João Lourenço and his administration good luck in reforming Angola. The Angolan people deserve functional governance. https://t.co/qXa4GPbhHL
