Circular bioeconomy and systems of sustainability
Join our in-depth webinar!
Join us for an in-depth webinar on EU policies for NGT-derived crops where we explore the effects of coexistence measures, and labelling and traceability policies and consumer responses for crops derived from New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) under the European Union (EU) regulatory framework. This session will provide a comprehensive analysis of how the EU regulatory framework impact the cultivation of NGT derived maize, oilseeds, wheat, potatoes, and tomatoes, with a focus on their economic and market implications and how consumers view products using the case of processed tomatoes.

28th ANNUAL ICABR CONFERENCE
“Our bioeconomy consortium (ICABR) returned to Ravello after five years of pandemic and meetings in Bologna and Argentina. Ravello is as charming as ever. I still enjoy climbing the steps and taking in the view, but I do it slower. Both the regulars and some new faces participated in this glorious meeting. There was a lot to learn, and here are some highlights. “

Since 1960, global food production surged by 390%, with only a 10% increase in land use, yet food systems contribute 21-37% of GHG emissions. The OECD emphasizes agriculture’s triple challenge: ensuring ample, affordable, safe, and nutritious food, sustaining livelihoods, and bolstering sustainability while combatting climate change. Achieving this necessitates innovations for enhanced crop productivity and a circular bioeconomy. To meet these goals, policies must promote investment in productivity, implement suitable regulations, and facilitate innovation adoption without excessive regulatory constraints. Farmers need access to technologies that boost yields, income, and soil health while safeguarding the environment.
