How Are Crops Developed Through New Breeding Techniques Being Regulated?
Plant breeding using modern biotechnology provides a faster and more precise way to breed plants compared to conventional plant breeding techniques. These techniques offer alternative solutions to addressing global challenges, such as food security, climate change, and sustainability. Countries around the world have taken different approaches to regulating crops developed through new breeding techniques (NBTs), with some treating them like conventionally bred plants and others applying stricter rules similar to genetically modified organisms (GMOs). As these innovations reshape agriculture, a crucial question comes into play: How are these crops being regulated?
