We support the Statement on Regulation of Genome Edited Crops
Today more than 132 science institutes and associations strongly recommend to the European Union to revise the existing directive for precision breeding, also known as genome-editing in plants.
This modern method supports
- the protection of natural resources
- realizing the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations
- the realisation of the Green Deal of the European Union
- implementation of the Farm to Fork strategy of the European Union
Many scientific results have shown this. Therefore, our Section Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology endorses the open statement of the European Sustainable Agriculture through Genome Editing (EU-SAGE) networks, under which the institutions named above are united.
