The climate is changing, demand for food is growing and pesticides are increasingly frowned upon. In addition to adaptations in our cultivation practices, robust, high-yielding crops are therefore also in demand. Conventional plant breeding will take decades to achieve these goals, however. Genome editing methods could offer us a way out. The conference will see experts provide information and discuss the pros and cons of this biomolecular technology and its influence on consumption.Speakers
Matija Nuic, Director of the Association of Swiss Vegetable Producers (VSGP)
Bruno Studer, Professor of Molecular Plant Breeding, ETH Zurich
