✨ GeneBEcon is driving change through cutting-edge research on potatoes🥔 and microalgae 🟢. ✅ By creating virus-resistant potatoes with improved starch, we’re reducing pesticide use and chemical processing. Meanwhile, tailored microalgae are being developed not just to feed poultry, but also to provide renewable, high-value compounds for use in industrial and healthcare applications. 📄 GeneBEcon is also providing vital recommendations to policymakers on how to regulate the new genomic techniques (NGTs)! 👆 We’ve analyzed several policy options and their implications for human and environmental safety, as well as economic competitiveness. 📃 Policy brief: https://lnkd.in/gCDEqy9E 📑 Report: https://lnkd.in/eTSViSNK #NGTs #newgenomictechniques #geneediting #genomeediting #plantbreeding #sustainableagriculture #bioeconomy Wageningen University & Research ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek) Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) Plants for the Future Euroseeds XPRO Consulting Limited Danish Technological Institute Slovak University of Agriculture
