LETTER - Professor @CristobalUauy wrote to The Times this weekend. Here is his letter.
You can find out more about Professor Uauy and his work on wheat genetics here 👀👇 okt.to/MrXViD
ALT "In a field of farmed wheat there will be millions more naturally occurring mutations than are present in the gene-edited wheat trials reported by Rhys Blakely. Gene editing allows us to reach the same end point as traditional breeding but more quickly and efficiently. Organisms developed using gene editing will contain small changes to their existing DNA. These will be potentially identical to changes that could have occurred naturally or been induced using mutation breeding techniques. Such organisms should not be regulated differently simply because they were derived in different ways. I welcome Defra’s consideration of how gene-edited crops are regulated, as it offers a great chance to significantly speed up the crop breeding process and help us to make advances in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges: climate change, food security and sustainable food production."
