Finding the Right Fit: Safe Innovation Framework for Crop Breeding

Innovations often move faster than the regulations that govern them. In agriculture, powerful tools in modern biotechnology (e.g., genetic modification and genome editing) have already been reshaping plant breeding for over two decades. However, regulations in many countries are still subject to deliberation and amendments amidst research and development. The gap in regulations raises questions about safety, policy, and progress. Could this be a time to build a regulatory framework model that meets the needs of both science and society? Let us find out.
