SUMMARY:Workshop on Advancing Gene Editing in the Agrifood Sector
DESCRIPTION:Gene editing represents a significant advance in agricultural biotechnology\, offering a precise method to enhance plant\, fish\, and animal breeds to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural products. According to the FAO (2022)\, it can contribute to increasing crop yields\, enhancing nutritional profiles\, and bolstering environmental resilience. Gene editing allows for more precise modifications compared with traditional breeding methods\, potentially reducing the time and cost associated with developing new varieties or breeds. \nIn the Asia-Pacific region\, where genetically modified crops have seen limited adoption due to time\, cost\, and market requirements\, gene editing could be particularly beneficial due to its lower development costs and potentially more straightforward regulatory processes. For developing countries\, this technology offers an opportunity to tailor agricultural products to meet specific national needs\, addressing issues like food security and nutrition while considering socioeconomic impacts and environmental sustainability. \nFor more details please click on PN.
