Harmonization of Gene Editing Regulations Vital in Bringing Products to Market
Wednesday, 2024/09/18 | 08:32:58

Why are there limited gene-edited agrifoods available in the market despite the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of CRISPR? This question was raised by Lisa Clark and Jill Hobbs, professors from the University of Saskatchewan Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics in the concluding chapter of the book titled "International Regulation of Gene Editing Technologies in Crops."

 

The chapter highlights the present and future challenges in regulating gene editing in the agrifood system, as well as the other new breeding techniques. According to the authors, the biggest hurdles is commercializing gene-edited agrifoods and allowing the target stakeholders to avail of the benefits from those products. Harmonization of regulatory frameworks, even within regions (such as Latin America's experience), will be vital in addressing the challenge. Another issue that needs to be addressed is the complexity of the patent and licensing landscape that impedes advancements in commercialization.

 

The authors also tackled consumer considerations, including consumer acceptance and labeling. Quotations from stakeholder interviews also present potential applications of gene editing in addressing climate change and sustainability.

 

"Deliberative governance can contribute to shaping the regulatory environment for gene editing in agrifood and offering suggestions for future research," the authors concluded.
