EU green light for food production with genetic variations

The European Parliament has adopted new legislation to facilitate the use of New Genomic Techniques (NTG) in agriculture, allowing Spanish farmers to potentially increase their cereal crops, such as wheat, rice, and maize. The regulation, which will apply in Spain, reduces administrative burdens and costs for small and medium-sized enterprises and enables the patenting of NTG and acquisition of intellectual property rights.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has welcomed the regulation, citing its potential to help farmers adapt to climate change. An event will be held on September 9 to discuss the implications of NTG for Spanish agriculture.
