EUSAGE

A network of European plant science institutes and societies that promotes the development of European sustainable agriculture through genome editing. #EUSAGE

[Re-Imagine Europa @ReImagineEuropa]

Everything is ready for tomorrow's big opening!

Come visit our #EUfarmersmarket at the
@Europarl_EN in Strasbourg, next to the cafeteria, from June 13th to 15th.

Counting down on our exposition on new genomic techniques! EU-SAGE and RIE will host an opening event tomorrow with the Members of the European Parliament!

Did you know that there are already more than 500 different genome-editing applications in crops published in peer-reviewed research studies? @eu_sage has just released an interactive genome-edited crops database https://t.co/cIoZemx0VG

Today @EU_Commission is hosting an event on #NGTs.“We need a discussion based on facts”- @TimmermansEU „Scientists develop new technologies to improve people’s lives”- Prof. Dr. Virginijus Šikšnys “Reasoning and science should prevail in political decision making”- @J_Denormandie

Keynote speech at the Commission's on-line event on NGTs of Prof. Dr. Virginijus Šikšnys brought a clear, scientific view on innovation to the ongoing discussion on sustainable agriculture #EUFoodSafety #EUFarm2Fork @eu_sage

70k responses on the public consultation for the legal initiative on genome-edited plants @Food_EU.
This blog https://t.co/b8L1vZ9hLp @schillipaeppa clarifies the issues that resulted in so many copy-pasted answers. This is misleading plagiarism!

[German Society for Plant Sciences (DBG) @PlantSciDBG_en]

Dear plant scientists, please provide your individual expert’s voice on #GenomeEditing and #NBT - even if only in brief - if you want to see #plantsci based politics! @eu_sage https://t.co/cPyuWelst7

"CRISPR will have a critical role in addressing the climate change. I personally believe that the potential impact of CRISPR on agriculture will affect many more people in a short time frame compared to the medicine field" @doudna_lab @ReImagineEuropa

[ALLEA @ALLEA_academies]

The @ReImagineEuropa-led Task Force on #SustainableAgriculture and #Innovation presented their two latest reports 📕📙 on technological innovation & policy options for #EUagriculture at the virtual meeting 'Beyond the apple of discord' 🍎

Looking forward to the 22nd of July "Beyond the Apple of Discord: Changing our Agri Culture" @ReImagineEuropa Check the details here 👉https://t.co/cfKtfTFKtt

[Re-Imagine Europa @ReImagineEuropa]

How can scientific #innovation in #agriculture help meet the #SDGs?

We're delighted to have Professor @LouiseOFresco chairing our next event.

Join the debate about 🍎 #SustainableAgriculture and #Innovation ⬇️

@mark_lynas presentation on climate emergency is an eye opener on how our planet🌍will change due to 1°C-6°C increase in temperature🔥🌪️Genome editing is one of the tools that can help adapting to climate change! #PlantResearch21

[EUSAGE @eu_sage]

Genome editing can contribute to adaptation and mitigation of #climatechange We need to combine all possible tools to face the current environmental challenges #PlantResearch21

[Dirk Inze @InzeDirk]

Looking forward to #PlantResearch21 starting in few minutes! 2 days dedicated to #PlantScience #droughttolerance, #Salinity, #Floodingtolerance, #carboncapturing plants. We need genome editing both for adaptation and mitigation of #climatechange https://t.co/MwFr05s36A

[EUSAGE @eu_sage]

Yesterday's panel clarified several topics around #GenomeEditing for Crop Improvement in an open discussion. @_KVAB @ALLEA_academies

[EUSAGE @eu_sage]

We invite you to join the panel discussion on the recent @_KVAB @ALLEA_academies report on #GenomeEditing for crop improvement TOMORROW at 4 PM. #EUSAGE

[KVAB @_KVAB]

Register now for the online panel discussion "Genome editing for crop improvement" on December 3rd.

The authors will discuss the key takeaways from the new report with each other and the public 👇
