During ISAAA's latest webinar, Bohol Governor Aries Aumentado expressed his interest in having biotech experts talk more about the benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops and how they can be planted to co-exist with organic plants in areas such as Bohol and Negros Occidental where organic farming is championed. Providing insights to Filipino farmers about co-existing GM and organic farming will help them learn more about the options that they can use in agriculture.

NEW INNOVATIONS LIKE GENE EDITING IN AGRICULTURE ARE SAID TO PROMISE IMPROVEMENTS

As modern biotechnology rapidly moves forward, ISAAA continues to share the latest cutting-edge biotechnologies to its network of stakeholders and beneficiaries with its most recent publication about new breeding innovations and their impact on global challenges.

Genome editing is one of the new breeding techniques that allow scientists to improve the characteristics of living organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria. The technologies used for genome editing work like scissors, cutting the DNA in a specific location, then remove, add, or replace kn

ISAAA, in partnership with the Philippine Department of Agriculture Biotechnology Program Office and Biotech Coalition of the Philippines, will be launching its latest publication titled Breaking Barriers with Breeding: A Primer on New Breeding Innovations for Food Security on December 13, 2021 at 10 AM GMT+8 via Zoom.
