🤔Missed the GeneBEcon Final Symposium? We’ve got you covered! 🤩With help from @visualityEU, we’ve turned key moments into visual highlights! ℹ️linkedin.com/feed/update/urn… #NGT #geneediting #bioeconomy

🧬Gene editing is powerful — but knowing exactly what changed in a plant is essential. GeneBEcon gives clear, practical guidelines for checking gene-edited plants, with simple steps and real examples in potato and microalgae. ℹ️genebecon.eu/wp-content/uplo… #NGTs #CRISPR #geneediting

🧬🌱GeneBEcon finds that clearer #NGT rules can: • boost innovation • speed up improved crops like potato • keep microalgae work in 🇪🇺 • cut delays • support safety & progress ℹ️genebecon.eu/wp-content/uplo… #geneediting #plantbreeding #sustainablebioeconomy

How can #NewGenomicTechniques help us grow better food for a healthier planet? 🌍 👩‍🌾 Farmers → resilient, high-yield crops. 🧑🍽️ Consumers → healthier, tastier foods. 🏭 Manufacturers → more sustainable production. 🌱 Citizens → greener agriculture for future generations.

🐔Adding small doses of Chlorella vulgaris to broiler feed can boost antioxidant capacity and support gut health — offering a sustainable alternative to antibiotics and soy-based ingredients. 🌱 ℹ️sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #SustainableAgriculture #Microalgae #CircularBioeconomy

🔧 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗕𝗘𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲 – 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗣𝗥/𝗖𝗮𝘀 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘅 A practical resource with step-by-step instructions, validated protocols & plasmids for #geneediting in plants & microalgae. Also adaptable to other crops. 👉genebewise.genebecon.eu

🧬 The EU Commission’s #NGTs proposal (5 July 2023) covers only plants from targeted mutagenesis & cisgenesis. 🌱 Category 1 = conventional-like plants 🌱 Category 2 = under GMO rules 🚫 Transgenesis excluded. ⚖️ Aim: balance innovation, safety & sustainability. #geneediting

🌱 CRISPR & #geneediting can cut pesticide use & boost green innovation—but responsibility is key. 💡GeneBEcon developed guidelines + the GeneBEwise toolbox to ensure safe, transparent use & build trust in sustainable biotech. ℹ️lnkd.in/eq-ZdsrS @ILVOvlaanderen

💡Lutein is vital for human wellbeing, but today it mainly comes from marigolds. New research shows microalgae could be the future: faster growth, year-round cultivation & biotech tools like CRISPR boosting yields. ℹ️zenodo.org/records/14604493 @ILVOvlaanderen

Why update the EU’s rules on New Genomic Techniques? 🧬 📌 The current GMO law dates from 2001—before NGTs existed 📌 It lags behind scientific & tech progress 📌 It stifles innovation for safe, beneficial NGT products A new framework is in the works to fix that. #NGTs

📢New in Phycology @MDPIOpenAccess: Survey of Flemish consumers on algae-fed chicken meat 🐔 🔹72.5% willing to buy if labelled “algae-fed” 🔹83.7% would buy despite yellower colour 🔹Sustainability perception, education & age boost acceptance ℹ️mdpi.com/2673-9410/5/3/33

🇪🇺 In the EU, organisms from New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) are currently regulated as GMOs under Directive 2001/18/EC. ✅ Risk assessment ✅ Labeling ✅ Traceability ✅ Consumer protection But the changes are coming! #NGTs #EUlaw #GMO #FoodSafety #Biotech

📢Featured in the latest @CORDIS_EU Results Pack, GeneBEcon unlocks #geneediting for a greener EU bioeconomy. 🌱 PVY-resistant potatoes 💧 Carotenoid-rich Chlorella 🔧CRISPR toolbox + NGT policy insights 📘 cordis.europa.eu/article/id/… #CRISPR #circularbioeconomy #HorizonEU

🐓 Can algae in chicken feed support health & meat quality? 🔍A new study on Chlorella vulgaris in broiler diets under stress found signs of better gut health, deeper meat color & antioxidant levels. 📖 genebecon.eu/outputs/#scient… @ILVOvlaanderen

📢 GeneBEcon has released Transition Action Plans (TAPs) to guide the responsible uptake of New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs) in food & biotech. Each TAP targets key groups with concrete steps for awareness, training & collaboration. 🔗 genebecon.eu/2025/06/27/tran… #geneediting

🚀 How can Europe lead in biotech while keeping top talent? At the GeneBEcon Symposium, experts highlighted the need for faster processes, clearer rules & stronger support for startups using #NGTs. 💡 Focus: scaling, regional gaps & talent retention. #BiotechEurope

🔍 How to build trust in New Genomic Techniques (#NGTs)? Xenia Schneider, XPRO Consulting Ltd., shared GeneBEcon’s roadmap & 6 TAPs—SMART, stakeholder-driven actions to tackle misinformation, manage change & align with EU goals. 👉 genebecon.eu/2025/06/27/tran…

🤔 What do Europeans think about NGT-derived food? 🎤 Prof. Jan Pokrivcak shared insights from a 5-country survey: 💡 Just 9% know NGTs. 🧠 Openness is higher among young, educated consumers. 🥦 Health, price & environment drive acceptance. 📣 Industry wants clear communication.
