International Trade in Crops with New Breeding Technologies The Australian Perspective
Developments in regulations of gene-edited plants are changing rapidly. Increasingly more countries, including Australia, have implemented de-regulation of gene-edited crops. In Australia, this followed a series of reviews by the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator. Common approaches are also emerging among many other countries. ISAAA and partners are organizing this webinar to provide an insight into the future landscape of trade involving gene-edited crops, particularly in relation to countries involved in the international trade of agricultural products.
During the webinar, experts tackle the following topics:
• building international capacity for gene editing;
• scientific discipline diplomacy, policy and regulatory aspects of crops developed through new breeding technologies (NBTs);
• regulatory landscape of gene-edited crops in Australia; and
• NBT policy approaches and implications for trade in Malaysia, Philippines, and Indonesia.
The webinar is hosted by the ISAAA SEAsiaCenter and co-organized with Murdoch University and the ISAAA Biotechnology Information Centers. Registration to the webinar is free and open to all.
