The European Parliament\u2019s vote in support of new genomic techniques, marks a significant step forward for agricultural innovation and sustainability in Europe, according to a\u00a0press release<\/a>\u00a0from Euroseeds.<\/p>\n

The plenary vote backed the \u201cadoption of these cutting-edge technologies, recognizing their potential to revolutionize farming practices while ensuring food security and environmental stewardship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The European Parliament\u2019s affirmative vote highlights an increasing agreement among policymakers that adopting innovation to bolster sustainable agriculture is imperative, not contradictory.<\/p>\n

New genomic techniques offer a wide range of solutions, including increased crop resilience, enhanced nutritional content, and reduced environmental impact. Through harnessing these cutting-edge tools, European farmers can cultivate healthier crops with higher yields, contributing to the region\u2019s agricultural competitiveness and food security.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Europe stands at the forefront of agricultural innovation, the successful integration of new genomic techniques into farming practices will not only drive economic growth but also pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector,\u201d said Euroseeds Secretary General, Garlich von Essen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the support of policymakers, stakeholders, and the wider community, Europe can unlock the full potential of these groundbreaking technologies and lead the way towards a brighter future for agriculture. We will evaluate in due time the details regarding traceability, market labelling and intellectual property rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this crucial milestone, the press release states \u201cthe fate of the proposal now rests with the Council of the European Union. The Council\u2019s endorsement is essential to ensure the timely approval of the proposal on new genomic techniques; on the contrary, a potential failure to secure approval during this mandate would cause further delay, hindering Europe\u2019s ability to harness the full potential of these transformative technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Council of the European Union to demonstrate its commitment to innovation by aligning with the European Parliament\u2019s decision and prioritize the adoption of a Regulation governing new genomic techniques.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
