Genetic scissors – a powerful tool to reach sustainability goals

Sundström, Jens

Sammanfattning

Genetic scissors are biological tools that researchers use to make precise changes in the genomes of organisms. With genetic scissors, plant breeders can develop crops with traits that are more environmentally friendly and better adapted to a changing climate, much faster compared to using conventional plant breeding. The tool could contribute to more sustainable agriculture, and help us reach the goals of the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy. For this to happen, the EU legislation needs to be revised.
