One of my research staff just returned from #Ghana where he was working on an ag project. In talking with Ghana farmers, he found they all want access to #GMcrops. What gives #eNGOs the right to deny farmers access to technology they clearly want? What are eNGOs so scared of?

Is hormone free #beef just another example of scare tactics in food marketing? @lesleyraekelly investigates:

Great SAIFood student blog on the importance of chemicals in ag. This blog looks at the impact of dicamba. https://t.co/UU9JtGkNDC

Been driving by an A&W restaurant all weekend for a hockey tournament. Sure is nice too see how empty their parking lot is!

New article on the economic impact of banning glyphosate shows a loss of $6.7 billion annually. I wonder if eNGO zealots are going to compensate farmers for the lost income? Oh right, what was I thinking. https://t.co/ZEVo8An1sj

The anti-GMO campaign celebrates its 20 years of success in fostering malnutrition and hunger on the planet, stopping much innovation for the farmers

“At what point does a body of evidence become massive enough to count as proof? When has a question been answered enough times that it can be put to rest?” - Dr. Daniel Summers. Unfortunately it would seem the answer is never when it comes to anti-GMO campaigns. #agriculture

Are the anti #GMO and anti #vaccine movements merging? @mark_lynas reports on an ominous trend that requires a strong response from scientific community. https://t.co/NqIl3SBMgB

This doesn’t see enough coverage! Modern, zero-till seeding is a great step towards helping to stop and even reverse the destruction of our soils! #agriculture #agri-innovation https://t.co/XRXnh09QxR

All over the world and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, soil is under threat from pollution, erosion and other forms of degradation.

@afruibana @WorldBank @Cirad @rodgers_kirwa @FAOnews Furthermore, the implementation of GM crops designed for the climate of these areas and to be bug resistant means more food, and income for those farmers as well as less chemical use and freedom from pesticide related illnesses! #GMO #agriculture

[Baxter Watson @BaxWatson]

@WorldBank Did you know #agriculture is behind 100% of the worlds food supply?

[Baxter Watson @BaxWatson]

@FAOKnowledge Cutting edge chemicals like glyphosate are one of our best tools in keeping agriculture safe for people and the environment! #ecofriendly #agriculture

The moment of truth for Greenpeace!! My students found Greenpeace GUILTY of crimes against agriculture, delivering a verdict of 12-5. The student jurors found Greenpeace guilty on 12 statements and innocent on 5 statements. Greenpeace has now been held to account.

[Baxter Watson @BaxWatson]

This doesn’t get enough recognition. Vertical agriculture could be a big step towards fresh, economic, sustainable fresh vegetable in many cities. It’s not the answer to every crop, but it can be incredibly useful for some and eliminates transportation costs and emissions! https://t.co/1fy9yjkXMH

This company wants to build a giant indoor farm next to every major city in the world https://t.co/9a3gq3VxRx #agriculture

[Baxter Watson @BaxWatson]

Another big step forward in the fight against hunger! Let’s hope that anti-GMO groups don’t target this type of innovation next! https://t.co/MgTcXDQgtE

China has developed a rice that grows in seawater https://t.co/cTx4amIsoE #agriculture

[Baxter Watson @BaxWatson]

This could be huge! It’s important to note that the pastures that support many of these cattle remove more greenhouse gas than the cattle produce. This could be a huge step forward regardless! https://t.co/4rENAJXTx5

Is it really this simple to cut #methangas emission from #agriculture ? #ClimateHope
