Gene editing isn’t GM though...
gene editing is editing the genes of the same species - a sort of deliberate mutation that could occur naturally. Genetic modification is using genes from 2 or more different species.How is gene editing not genetic modification?
I'm not justifying it I am stating a fact. That is the difference between gene editing and genetic modification. You obviously haven't got a clue what you are talking about. As I have a relative who is a senior plant breeder with 30 years experience I think he knew what he was doing when he explained it to me. Even the Guardian has got that bit right. https://www.theguardian.com/science...nd-livestock-may-soon-be-permitted-in-englandrubbish, you can try and justify it like that but our customers won't see it that way.

And even if overall the cost to produce a T of something doesn't change as we will end up paying for seed traits, its better than carrying on splashing chems about.
Unlikely in my remaining farming life but ultimately it will be the market that will make that decision.

Are the current crop of Covid vaccines now being rolled out, after being developed at a fantastic speed, not created by gene editing? Is it still a 'bad' technique when used in that way?
