Dear readers,

the year 2022 has unsettled many certainties. There also was some uncertainty at first about sufficient availability of non-GMO feed after Russia's attack on Ukraine. This has now been dispelled. The oilseed harvests were good, Ukraine continues to supply an impressive amount despite the war, and Brazil is expanding the cultivation of GMO-free soybeans. All of this will be discussed at the International Non-GMO Summit in May.

Also in spring, the EU Commission will present its long-discussed proposal on the future handling of GMOs in Europe's fields and on Europe's plates. Until then, the debate will continue to grow in presence and intensity. Even more so after that.

So it is good that the party of the German chancellor, the Social Democrats, has now clearly declared its support for GMO-free agriculture and food on the occasion of the hearing on genetic engineering in the German parliament Bundestag. After all, there is a lot to preserve, as our new milk figures show.

We wish you a happy holiday season and a good start into the new year!
