#NGTs use gene editing to create precise changes in living organisms. While they come with both benefits & risks, science shows they pose no greater danger than other breeding methods.
🌱 Used in agriculture, they boost #biodiversity & resilience to #ClimateChange 🌍 & pests.

New genomic techniques for plant breeding
New genomic techniques can increase food security and mitigate climate change effects. EU rules aim to regulate these plant breeding methods.
The Council has agreed its position for negotiations with the European Parliament on proposed rules on new genomic techniques.
