Dr. Nina Fedoroff

Nina Fedoroff and Marshall Matz join together to discuss food security and the similarities between the COVID-19 pandemic and the Green Revolution.

USDA’s Sid Abel and Doug McKalip just briefed me on the new regulatory framework that is shaping up for the oversight of plants modified by what they are now calling “plant breeding innovations.” 

USDA and FDA proposals to regulate genetically engineered (GE) plants and animals following the recent update of the regulatory framework are on their websites awaiting public comment by 19 June 2017.
