Gene Editing - Pathway to Commercialization

Gene editing will lead to a new wave of products and profits, delivering value to growers, food companies and consumers. Less expensive, faster and easier plant breeding, new crops with new uses, increased crop yields with less environmental impact are among the many potential benefits. The science of designing gene edited crops is the first step. Getting the products onto farms and into the food chain is the next. The industry will need to introduce gene editing to the domestic and global marketplace in a positive manner. This presentation will explore the path to commercialization including developing appropriate regulatory frameworks, working in a global context, and building public acceptance and trust.
