The Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (APAARI) led six other institutions in reviewing the status of regulatory policies for gene editing across the globe, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The Regional Expert Consultation on Gene Editing and its Regulation was held at the International Crop Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) in Hyderabad, India on October 10-11, 2019 and gathered experts from 12 different countries in the region.
The Expert Consultation aimed to highlight the innovations through gene editing and their impact in the agricultural sector; review the status of regulatory policies around gene editing across the globe particularly in countries of Asia-Pacific region; provide a platform to promote adoption of science-based predictable policies for regulating gene-edited crops and breeds; provide a platform to discuss the impact of regulatory hurdles, delays and associated high cost on technology adoption; and discuss communication strategies, enabling policies for plant and animal breeding innovations.
From the two-day deliberations and the discussions, key recommendations include the following:
