NGTs can help develop new and improved plant varieties that support more sustainable agri-food systems
In order to provide a better understanding of the potential of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs), Plant ETP’s working groups on sustainable agriculture and NGTs joined forces to develop case examples of specific NGT plant varieties that, if allowed on the EU market, would be better adapted to the challenges of climate change and support the transition to more sustainable agri-food systems, in line with the EU Green Deal’s Farm to Fork and Biodiversity goals and several UN SDGs.
