The Genetic Literacy Project (GLP) has launched the Global Gene Editing Regulation Tracker, an online tool that monitors gene-edited products and processes that are approved
Starting on December 1st and all the way until christmas, this calendar will present 24 examples of genome editing applications in 22 different plants, from
A Web of Science collection of over 15,000 articles on gene editing published since 2000 shows clearly how collaborative the research in this field is.

The food and agriculture industry is using CRISPR to tap the natural diversity of plants to increase the sustainability of crop production to develop tastier, healthier foods for consumers.
The potential for using genetic modification (GM) to enhance the nutritional composition of crops (for either direct human consumption or as animal feed) has been recognized since the dawn of the GM era, with such ‘output’ traits being considered as distinct, if not potentially superior, to ‘input’ traits such as herbicide tolerance and insect resistance.
The EU executive has already prepared the ground for a new initiative on gene editing to overhaul the current GMO legislation, EU agriculture commissioner Phil Hogan has said.
A US$1.7-billion programme aims to develop 30 gene-edited plant and animal varieties in the next decade.
The Ministers of Agriculture from Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States highlighted that food demand is rising while agricultural production faces significant constraints, such as limited access to arable land and fresh water.
Post-2020 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform package: strategic plans.
COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a funding agency for research and innovation networks. Our Actions help connect research initiatives across Europe and enable scientists to grow their ideas by sharing them with their peers. This boosts their research, career and innovation.
A great challenge of this century is to provide adequate nutrition for an increasing global population while developing a more socially, economically and environmentally sustainable agriculture that counters climate change, biodiversity loss and degradation of arable land.
