Dear readers,

After 2022’s harvest, more than 1 million tonnes of Donau Soja / Europe Soya-certified non-GM soybeans, all of them deforestation- and conversion-free, have been produced and certified in Europe. This is about a third of all Non-GMO soy needed in the EU. Our article Non-GM soybeans – growing from strength to strength in Europe explains how Donau Soja’s Protein Partnerships Programme is developing the potential for soybean cultivation in non-EU, European countries - including Ukraine - even further.

Meanwhile, the agenda for the International Non-GMO Summit is filling up with confirmed speakers. And we’re delighted to welcome Instituto Soja Livre from Brazil as a partner! Please note that the Summit is a physical event and it’s necessary to reserve your ticket directly on the website: https://www.nongmosummit.com/register-now 

In the EU, the Commission has announced that it will publish its legislative proposal for a deregulation of New GMOs around the 7th June. The reasons why the food sector has a lot to lose and why it should raise its voice for its business interests I explained in an opinion piece for New Food Magazine.
