EU proposes laws to ease regulations for gene-edited crops
The European Commission has proposed a set of laws that aim to ease regulations for crops made with gene-editing techniques, called new genomic techniques (NGT). These techniques involve making changes to plants that could naturally occur and do not introduce foreign DNA or transgenes. The proposal is part of the EU's efforts to meet its emissions reduction goal by 2030. By allowing the use of NGT, the regulations aim to enhance crop traits and reduce the need for pesticides and fungicides, improving agricultural productivity and sustainability.
