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.

The AgroEcoTech Trap

Technology isn’t values neutral and treating it as if it is diminishes discussions around innovation and appropriateness and diverts from much needed dialogue around sustainability and sufficiency.

Are gene-editing technologies traditional? Not if they are linked to intellectual rights

The recent Defra public consultation on the regulation of genetic technologies suggested that gene editing was the same as ‘traditional plant breeding’. But, says Kathleen Garnett, if its patented its not traditional.

New paper: Policy and Regulation of New Genetic Technologies – Editing or Evisceration?

EU and UK attempts to change genome editing regulations could have opened the door to interesting, even productive discussions. Instead they have further entrenched the unhelpful polarisation of early GMO debates.

A crossroads for ‘genome editing’ in Europe – questions, options and dilemmas

A new policy briefing from the Genome Editing and Agriculture: Policies, Practices and Public Perceptions (GEAP3) project discusses choices and dilemmas facing policy makers and societal stakeholders in the European Union and the United Kingdom asks bigger questions.

Survey: Genome editing in food and farming – the campaigning landscape

The results of our latest survey indicate that amongst the UK’s food and farming organisations, a new dynamic is at play which is less cohesive, less engaged, more cautious or hesitant than was expressed by many of these same groups in the early days of genetic engineering in agriculture.

Survey: Citizen’s attitudes to genome editing in food and farming

Our Citizen’s Attitudes to Genome Editing in Food and Farming survey examined the attitudes on genome editing in food and farming – and in particular issues around regulation. Some of the answers were all too familiar, but some showed a greater understanding and willingness to consider nuance.

Sustainability, regulation and co-existence top the agenda

Panellists at our recent webinar Sense, Science and Sustainability tackled the question of genetic engineering in food and farming through a sustainability lens– leading to some surprising admissions. Co-hosted with […]

How a new biotech rule will foster distrust with the public and impede progress in science

Reclaiming a baseline of accountability is the first step in building public confidence in regulatory systems that work for people as well as science that the public believes in.

The uncomfortable truth about GMOs and co-existence

A new report suggests that while plant breeders of all kinds support the idea of ‘working together’ – there are few practical or regulatory pathways for achieving ‘co-existence’

Agritech and the Ethics of Innovation

London, UK

This session explores the emergence and application of the 'innovation principle' as a values-neutral solution to multiple agriculture challenges, as tool of sustainability and as a legal concept that influences content and direction of regulation.
