| Experts Tackle Big Questions on Gene Editing and the Future of Food |
|
In a new ISAAA publication titled Points to Ponder on Gene Editing: Can We Edit the Future of Food?, a group of experts from around the world discuss the potential impacts of gene editing in the context of food security. The publication begins by outlining the challenges that the global food system faces. The world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and demand for food is expected to increase by 50%. At the same time, climate change is making it more difficult to produce food in many parts of the world.

In a new ISAAA publication titled Points to Ponder on Gene Editing: Can We Edit the Future of Food?, a group of experts from around the world discuss the potential impacts of gene editing in the context of food security.
The publication begins by outlining the challenges that the global food system faces. The world's population is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, and demand for food is expected to increase by 50%. At the same time, climate change is making it more difficult to produce food in many parts of the world.
Gene editing, the authors argue, could help to address these challenges. By making precise changes to the DNA of plants and animals, gene editing can help to create crops that are more productive, more resistant to pests and diseases, and better suited to our changing climate.
The new publication is part of ISAAA Biotech Communication Series, a collection of visual monographs that aim to provide stakeholders with accurate and up-to-date information about agricultural biotechnology. The series covers a wide range of topics, including modern biotechnology and science communication.
