Governing biotechnology to provide safety and security and address ethical, legal, and social implications

Benjamin Trump et al.

Summary: The field of biotechnology is producing a wide range of materials and products that are entering the commercial market quickly. While some developments offer revolutionary benefits, others carry uncertain risks and may provoke debate and anger. This paper discusses the importance of establishing technical soundness, ensuring safety and security, and transparently addressing ethical, legal, and social implications in the development and use of advanced genetic technologies. The authors advocate for a safety-by-design governance philosophy to address these concerns and support innovation while ensuring security and safety for workers, the public, and the environment.

Genome editing around the globe: An update on policies and perceptions

Thorben Sprink et al.

Summary: The CRISPR/Cas system has revolutionized genome editing a decade ago. Many countries have made decisions on the regulatory status of genome edited products, but there are differences in guidance and some countries are still in the process of updating their regulatory systems. The current global situation of regulatory systems for genome-edited crops is not harmonized, posing challenges for the future.

Genome Editing for Sustainable Agriculture in Africa

Leena Tripathi et al.

Summary: Sustainable intensification of agriculture in Africa is crucial for food and nutritional security and addressing climate change concerns. More efficient approaches to food production, including genome editing, are needed to close the yield gap in staple crops and meet the growing demand for food. CRISPR/Cas-based genome editing is a promising tool for developing improved crop varieties in Africa. Creating a science-based regulatory environment is necessary for the release and adoption of genome-edited products.

Commercial Release of Genetically Modified Crops in Africa: Interface Between Biosafety Regulatory Systems and Varietal Release Systems

Olalekan Akinbo et al.

Summary: African countries are facing key challenges in the deployment of GM crops, needing close collaboration between biosafety competent authorities and variety release authorities to ensure the effective and efficient commercial release while ensuring food and environmental safety. The evaluation and approval process of lead events are crucial in the commercial release of GM crops, and the introduction of new biotechnology products involves comprehensive testing in different environments before regulatory approvals.
