Regulation and market access of gene-edited and GMO food and products
While the first known attempt at creating genetically modified human embryos using the CRISPR gene editing technology recently attracted world-wide publicity, the technology is well established in agriculture.
What work is being done with gene editing in Australian agriculture and what is the market status and global regulatory environment for gene-edited livestock and crops? How does gene editing differ from GMOs, and what do consumers think?
Also, join us to celebrate the inaugural National Agriculture Day.
