|
|
The Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) announced that new UK legislation will be implemented to cut the unnecessary red tape for gene editing, with the goal of helping farmers have access to more resilient, nutritious, and productive crops. This also implies that UK scientists will be able to conduct research and development more easily using genetic technologies for plants.
