Socio-economic considerations and potential implications for gene-edited crops por Ludlow, Karinne, Smyth, Stuart, Falck-Zepeda, José B.

“…We assess the potential impacts of these gaps on the regulation of gene-edited crop varieties, concluding that if gene-edited crops are regulated as genetically modified crops, they will endure the same fate, that is, lengthy regulatory approval processes and failure to be commercialized. The end result being that the regulatory burdens in potential adopting and food insecure countries will prevent important new crop varieties from reaching farmers and producers for their use.…”
