Opportunities and challenges of genome edited crops for supporting food security

May 13, 2023

Genome editing is a new, simpler technology for regulating genes that affect the traits of living things. Genome editing technology utilizes the traits in living things to be improved. Genome editing is a technological breakthrough that is very promising to be developed in Indonesia and globally. Currently, genome editing has expanded in various sectors, especially in agriculture. Many kinds of research and genome editing applications in food crops have been carried out. This technology was developed specifically to improve the quality of food crops such as rice, sorghum, and horticulture. Genome editing technology can provide various opportunities to support food security and its role in biodiversity, but there will certainly be many challenges to achieve the goals.
