5 May 2021

Jennifer Doudna of Recognizing its potential in accelerating USA received the 2020 Nobel Prize crop breeding, both the Indian Council in Chemistry, is now being used of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and extensively to modify DNA to breed the Department of Biotechnology varieties that can give sustainable yields (DBT) have initiated programs across a wide range of environments to harness the desired. [...] The objectives of the needed to seek a nationwide license for Dialogue were to: i) develop consensus technology access and to have the end on regulation of genome edited products released as national good for plants and catalyze approval of the the benefit of all. [...] regulatory policies, ii) deliberate on Along with, public awareness, the mechanism of access to genome identification of ‘Centres of Excellence’ editing technologies for development for genetic improvement of different and commercialization of genome crops through genome editing is fully edited crops by public and private justified and needs immediate attention. [...] The Dialogue Variety Protection and Farmers’ Rights was organized jointly by the Trust for Authority (PPV&FRA); Members Advancement in Agricultural Sciences of Genetic Engineering Appraisal (TAAS), a neutral ‘Think Tank’, in Committee (GEAC); Chairman and collaboration with Indian Council Members of Review Committee of 3 Genetic Modification (RCGM); senior scaling the technology in the policymaker. [...] The participants scientists and the representatives of the dialogue were unanimous of seed industry attended and in recommending that products of participated in the deliberations.
