Post-Brexit Britain seeks to 'unlock substantial benefits' of gene editing


Post-Brexit Britain seeks to ‘unlock substantial benefits’ of gene editing
Food from gene edited animals and crops may soon be permitted in England.
The UK’s Environment Secretary George Eustice announced the launch of a 10-week consultation on the future of gene editing at the Oxford Farming Conference.
Both gene editing and genetic modification are banned by the EU. With the long Brexit process now concluded, Eustice said the consultation could ‘unlock substantial benefits to nature and the environment, helping farmers produce more resilient crops and to produce healthier, more nutritious food’.
“Gene editing has the ability to harness the genetic resources that mother nature has provided, in order to tackle the challenges of our age. This includes breeding crops that perform better, reducing costs to farmers and impacts on the environment, and helping us all adapt to the challenges of climate change,”​ he said. ....

Gene editing of crops and livestock may soon be permitted in England for the first time under a consultation launched by the government on Thursday.
Ministers said changing the current strict rules, which originate from the EU and make gene editing for crops and livestock almost impossible, would bring widespread benefits to consumers and farmers, including healthier food, environmental improvements and better animal welfare.
But some environmental and animal welfare groups raised concerns that loosening the rules could lead to lower animal welfare, for instance if the technology was used to promote faster growth over animal health, or to enable livestock to be kept in crowded conditions. ....

England launches plan to ease crop gene editing regulation post-Brexit

LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - England’s farming and environment minister George Eustice said on Thursday he was launching a public consultation on gene editing of crops, with the prospect the technology will the regulated less stringently than genetic modification.
The European Court of Justice ruled in July 2018 that mutagenesis-based gene-editing methods such as CRISPR/Cas9, which can rearrange targeted bits of DNA, fall under rules that now apply to genetic modification via strands of DNA from a different species.
Britain opposed the verdict, which was widely condemned by biotech and chemical industry associations, as well as academic scientists, but drew praise from some environmental and consumer rights groups. ....
