Gene Editing and Conservation – The Unknown and the Unknowable

The UK’s Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill, currently making its way through Parliament, allows gene editing of wild and free-living species. Shouldn’t we be talking about that?

Deregulating GMOs in the UK – New Report ‘Fills in the Blanks’ in Defra’s Plans

A new analysis by A Bigger Conversation suggests that, in its haste to deregulate agricultural gene technologies, the UK government is “choosing to get it wrong” by ignoring expertise from all sides.
