A distinguished panel of experts discusses what CRISPR-Cas9 means for the future of our food system — and our planet (Time 1:21:47)
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 was awarded to the developers of CRISPR-Cas9, the gene-editing tool that promises to "rewrite the code of life". In this webinar, hosted by youth activist Rachel Parent and organised by the Non-GMO Project, a distinguished panel of experts discusses what that means for the future of our food system — and our planet. The webinar, "New Techniques, Same GMOs", features Claire Robinson, editor of GMWatch.org; molecular geneticist Dr Michael Antoniou; Jim Thomas of ETC Group; Dr Vandana Shiva of Navdanya; Dr Jonathan Latham of the Biosciences Resource Project; and Megan Westgate of the Non-GMO Project.
