UK feed and pig industries welcome UK consultation on gene editing The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) has responded positively to the UK government’s new consultation, launched today, on the future legislative approach to gene editing of crops and livestock in England.
Robert Sheasby, CEO of the AIC, the voice of the UK feed and the agri-supply sector, said:
“The AIC warmly welcomes the launch of this government consultation on gene editing in crops and livestock. We have long sought to support sustainable modern commercial agriculture in the UK, and this is the opportunity for our members to put forward their views on this development. We would encourage the industry at large to respond.”
