How dependence on GMOs has affected public health, environment and democratic oversight

In this episode, we examine the growing dependence on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and its far-reaching impacts on society. Our discussion explores how GMO adoption has influenced public health, altered ecosystems and biodiversity, and reshaped farming systems—particularly in developing countries.We also unpack critical questions around democratic oversight: Who controls seeds and food systems? How transparent are regulatory processes? And to what extent are farmers and communities involved in decisions that affect their livelihoods and health?Through expert insights, community voices, and evidence-based analysis, this episode invites listeners to reflect on food sovereignty, environmental sustainability, and the right of citizens to participate meaningfully in decisions about their food systems.
