An international team, including researchers from the University of Göttingen, argues in a perspective article recently published in Science that new plant breeding technologies can contribute significantly to food security and sustainable development. Genome editing techniques in particular, such as CRISPR/Cas, could make agriculture more productive and environmentally friendly. The researchers advocate the responsible use and support of these new technologies.
