#DYK? Today’s 8-year-old will be heading to University by the time a new crop variety is developed? 🌱 On average, it takes over 10 years to develop new varieties; #NGTs can speed up the process to tackle #climatechange & ensure #foodsecurity ➡️ https://t.co/mcEGZK6zaB

35 Nobel Laureates and over 1,000 Scientists support our call for @pcanfin,@EP_Environment & MEPs to support New Genomic Techniques (NGTs).

The scientists said old methods of breeding crops over years and decades was taking too long. “We do not have this time in an era of climate emergency,” they wrote.

🥕🌽 #plants & #seeds also need #passports & #travel documents to cross borders.
🛂 These documents are used to confirm that they are free of #pests and do not need to be quarantined.

In this week’s @nature WorldView column, I write:
“The EU can and should play a greater part in ensuring global food security. I urge both ministers and legislators to…resist calls to further limit this technology.” #NGT #CRISPR

Humans have been improving grains, fruits, vegetables ever since we started growing them.

New genomic techniques allow us to do the same, faster & with more precision.

Today, we are presenting new framework protecting human & animal health & the environment.

@PJorasch at @EUFoodForum event: 'The European seed sector backs @Food_EU's NGT policy as a solid starting point for global alignment. However, some regulatory considerations lack scientific evidence, causing complexity. Improvements are necessary for efficient decision-making'.

#DYK new breeding techniques #NBTs, such as #CRISPRCas9, are far more precise than classical breeding methods, requiring years of selective breeding to restore undesired genetic changes? 🧬🍊🍋

#DYK that #seeds remain dormant when it's too warm and only germinate when favourable conditions return?

How has the world managed to feed a rapidly growing population with ever-shrinking land resources?

A big part has been increasing crop yields — e.g., we can now produce more than three times as much cereal from a given area of land as we could in 1961.

🦴🌾19th century, animal bones were crushed to extract #phosphates to fertilize #soils. To show that #nitrogen fuels #agricultural #production, #statistical tools & experimental #designs were then developed & are still taught in #universities today🙌
