Genome editing has presented enormous potential in the fields of medicine and agriculture. Here, we explore the social and regulatory aspects of genome editing from the perspective of food security. We provide recent examples of crop genome editing successes. We discuss the current regulatory framework for genome edited crops in North America and Europe, and present how public perception can influence international policies and trade.
基因组编辑在医学和农业领域展现出了巨大潜力。在此,我们从粮食安全的角度探讨基因组编辑的社会和监管方面。我们提供了作物基因组编辑成功的近期实例。我们讨论了北美和欧洲目前对基因组编辑作物的监管框架,并阐述了公众认知如何影响国际政策和贸易。
