ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Say no to synthetic food!
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!
Synthetic 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.
