FAO has just published an Issue Paper entitled �??Gene editing and agrifood systems�?�.

Developed by a team of authors with oversight from the Office of the Chief Scientist, this 86-page document is organized in the following six chapters: introduction; advances in plant and animal breeding; gene editing - potential hazards, benefits and impacts on the environment and society; governance and regulation; roles of the private and public sectors and transformative partnerships; and the way forward.

The foreword is written by Jennifer Doudna, a joint winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for her work on gene editing.
