ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
SynBio, or "Synthetic Biology", is a process of creating genetically engineered bacteria that excrete specific compounds. These compounds are then used to create synthetic foods, such as synthetic meat, synthetic milk, synthetic coffee, etc. The resulting synthetic foods are untested, unlabeled, and in our opinion unsafe. And on top of that, the genetically engineered bacteria used to create these synthetic foods may pose significant environmental risks if they were to escape the lab. Furthermore, these products promote a future with no farm animals, an idea that ignores the necessary and beneficial role animals play in regenerative agriculture.
We need a regenerative future. We need real farms, not fake food!
Take Action!
Over the past 30 years OCA and our allies across the world have fought hard against gene-spliced GMO foods and crops and the toxic pesticides and chemicals that always accompany them, exposing their dangers, limiting their market share, and in some countries bringing about mandatory bans (Mexico) and/or labeling and safety-testing. (USA and Europe)
But now Bill Gates, the gene-engineers, the World Economic Forum, and the Davos “Great Reset” technocrats and authoritarians, the folks who anticipated and profited off of COVID and the lockdowns, have a bold new plan to shove down our throats: get rid of animal agriculture, ranching, and small farms entirely. Make lab-engineered fake meat, fake milk, and fake cheese the new normal. Pretend they’re not genetically engineered and therefore they don’t have to be properly safety-tested and labeled. Divide and conquer vegans and carnivores, urban consumers and rural communities. Drive into bankruptcy and off the land the billion ranchers, small farmers, and herdsmen/women around the world, who depend on raising animals and livestock for their survival.
Read MoreSynthetic biology (synbio) is a field of science that redesigns organisms in an effort to enhance and support human life. According to one projection, this rapidly growing field of science is expected to reach $28.8 billion in global revenue by 2026.
Although it has the potential to transform many aspects of society, things could go horribly wrong if synbio is used for malicious or unethical reasons.
Read MoreThe EU Commission’s health division has launched a new public consultation on the new wave of genetically modified plants (new GMOs), moving ahead with far reaching deregulation plans.
With this consultation, the EU Commission is yet again widely following the wish list of some agribusiness lobby groups as nearly all the questions are framed in a way to support the Commission’s deregulation plans.
