@elonmusk, $6B on ag tech to end hunger or just hype? @BillGates outdid you-step up! #SDG2 #GatesVsMusk

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@DrEliDavid If WFP can describe on this Twitter thread exactly how $6B will solve world hunger, I will sell Tesla stock right now and do it.

@FarmersWeekly @johanntasker Eventually, after some delay, the UK National Action Plan was published earlier this year: https://t.co/otyjYD5emk

[Toby Bruce @Toby_Bruce]

@FarmersWeekly @johanntasker But it's not much of a plan for the future. It’s more like a roundup of case studies of what’s already been done. There’s no bold vision to provide a co-ordinated strategy for provision of alternative approaches to help farmers fill the gap left by removal of pesticide options.

@FarmersWeekly @johanntasker No UK plant health strategy targeting the key pests, weeds, and diseases yet!

precision breeding act -> potentially new opportunities for crop genetic improvement in England #IPPM2025

[AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social @AABiologists]

Great to see @jonathandgjones promoting use of genetic technologies @Groundswellaguk

The recent precision breeding bill allows generation of cisgenic potatoes 🥔 with 5 resistant genes…. within Maris Piper and Charlotte varieties! Very exciting potential.
