Since the commercial introduction of GMOs in 1996, bioengineered crops have dominated agriculture globally. With the maturing of technology and decreased costs, a new wave known as GMO 2.0 is emerging, spearheaded by pioneers in agricultural biotechnology. Amidst various benefits of enhanced nutrition and sustainability, the wave also raises regulatory and corporate governance concerns. As we approach broader adoption, there exists a crucial window to guide its development smartly and avoid the pitfalls experienced during the first generation of biotechnology.
The potential benefits of GMO 2.0—nutritional, environmental, and agronomical—will be too great to ignore.
Emerging startups and established companies are using breakthrough technologies to drive GMOs in exciting new directions.
The rise of GMO 2.0 offers us a chance to avoid some missteps that marked the rollout of first-gen biotech crops.
The European Union is warming to biotech, significantly expanding the number of GMO crops accepted for import.
