Innovation has the power to shape the future of agriculture. We're proud to support the State of Seed podcast and contribute to conversations around gene editing, plant breeding, and the partnerships helping tackle some of agriculture's most pressing challenges. Listen to the latest episode featuring our Nandini Krishnamurthy and other industry leaders. 🌱🎧 #StateOfSeed #PlantBreeding #SeedIsLife
What could gene editing mean for the future of food and agriculture? In the FINAL episode of Season 3 of the State of Seed podcast, we examine an historic moment for agricultural innovation: the European Union’s adoption of a new regulatory framework for plants developed using new genomic techniques. Host Laura Rosbrow-Telem explores what the new rules could mean for plant breeding in Europe and beyond, and how gene editing is already being used to address practical agricultural challenges all over the world. In this episode: 🌱 Petra Jorasch (PhD) of Euroseeds explains the EU’s new regulatory categories and what comes next during the implementation period. 🍌 Eyal Maori, Co-Founder and CTO of Tropic, discusses how gene editing can improve difficult-to-breed tropical crops, including non-browning bananas. 🌾 Professor Simona Radutoiu of ENSA - Enabling Nutrient Symbioses in Agriculture shares how researchers are strengthening plants’ natural relationships with soil microorganisms to reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers through this groundbreaking program supported by Gates Agricultural Innovations (Gates Ag One) 🌽 Nandini Krishnamurthy of Corteva Agriscience explores how public-private partnerships and gene-editing expertise are being applied to challenges such as Maize Lethal Necrosis in East Africa. As ISF Secretary General Michael Keller emphasizes, innovation alone is not enough: it must reach farmers and move across borders if it is to contribute to more resilient food systems. 🎧 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/exceYptq State of Seed is a podcast from the International Seed Federation produced by Foreign Policy FP Studios.
