The majority of @Europarl_EN voted for evidence-based regulation of new plant breeding. But thanks to numerous additions by critics, is there a threat of a new bureaucratic monster? @d_t_spencer & @landwirtinaus took a closer look.

Follow the science!
Grüne Gentechnik ist eine von vielen Antworten auf den Klimawandel, Ernährungssicherheit einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung und steigende Nachfrage nach Bio-Rohstoffen - die EU hat die Wahl, sie mit zu gestalten oder die Entwicklung anderen zu überlassen. #NGT
TODAY'S THE DAY! 🌱🧬
Farmers, scientists and environmentalists call on MEPs to vote in support of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs).
Let today be a day the @Europarl_EN votes in favour of science over fearmongering. 🔬
Traditional breeding methods have been used for thousands of years to create the crops we have today.
The issue is this process is slow, imprecise and expensive.
In the age of rapid #ClimateChange we need faster, more precise and less expensive ways to breed resilient crops to secure our food security and make agriculture more sustainable.

📢This week the Members of @Europarl_EN will vote on #NGTs for the future of our #agriculture.
We ask you to hear the broad scientific consensus that these #breeding techniques have achieved and to #GiveCRISPRaChance! 🧬🌾

Viennese plant biologists including @oeaw advocate #NGT, which will be discussed in the EU Parliament on Feb 6. The scientific answer is clear: Technologies such as CRISPR are safe and more efficient than conventional breeding. @dieGamon @SCHIEDER @wienerofficial @AngelikaWinzig

Tomorrow is a crucial day in the EU - a vote in the European Parliament will decide whether or not Europe is open to scientific innovation in plant briefing. Over 1000 scientists have demonstrated in support of gene editing ahead of the crunch vote.
