It was great watching the final vote on the NGT regulation in the @EUparliament directly from the experimental NGT barley field of the @best_crop project. A big thank you to all who made this possible. A lot of work ahead. @EFBiotechnology, @CatrinUP. #NGTs #EU #Innovation
NGT barley in an accredited field experiment, strictly controlled and regulated, one of the few allowed in the EU. It will become a common thing soon.
