Dear readers,
In just under eight weeks, there will be a general election in Germany. The topic of genetic engineering in food and agriculture plays an important role for many voters, as a recent survey commissioned by VLOG has shown. The attitude towards the regulation of new genetic engineering is remarkably clear across all party camps.
All the relevant parties have now presented their election programs. All of them address the issue of genetic engineering on fields and plates, although not always under their clear names.
In the meantime, the food retail sector has made a gratifyingly clear commitment to the regulation and labeling of new genetic engineering. The initiative of several major retailers for better animal husbandry methods also means less GMO in animal feed.
And even beyond the big politics, we have some important news to report.
We wish you an interesting reading! Your VLOG team
