Professor @apmweber.bsky.social, our project coordinator from @hhu.de talked about how to improve water use efficiency in maize through genome editing. 🌽
He pointed out that the EU should allow gene editing to make organic farming more sustainable: www.eurekalert.org/news-release...

Kathleen Lehmann from the European Commission’ Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety provided an update on the long-awaited NGT proposal — currently in trilogue between @europarl.europa.eu, the European Council, and @ec.europa.eu. The Biotech Act, scheduled late 2026, was also discussed.

Our four speakers were loud and clear about the critical need for swift regulatory action to prevent Europe from falling further behind global competitors. ✅
