“基因组编辑与农业的未来”是一个免费、公开的会议，吸引了来自全球范围内一系列研究组织、行业、基金和决策机构的100多名代表。会议有助于来自不同背景的专家之间正在进行的对话。正如不止一次指出的那样，这对推动未来的农业创新至关重要。罗斯林研究所所长兼NIB主席David Hume介绍了第一场会议，苏格兰农村学院校长wayne Powell概述了农业面临的全球挑战。正如他所指出的那样，要在不破坏环境的情况下，在2050年之前满足70%以上的粮食需求，一种新的思维方式将是至关重要的。他强调了全球和区域贸易体系的重要性，因为全球人口平衡正在发生变化，而且需要在食物链中建立复原力。追求卓越的科学成就和合作是应对这些艰巨挑战的关键。
‘‘Genome Editing and the Future of Farming’’was a free, open meeting that attracted over 100 representatives from a range of research organisations, industry, funding and policy-making bodies from across the globe. The meeting contributes to the ongoing dialogue among specialists from different backgrounds. As was pointed out in more than one occasion, this is instrumental for driving future agricultural innovation. David Hume, Director of The Roslin Institute and Chair of NIB, introduced the first session in whichWayne Powell, Principal of Scotland’s Rural College, gave an overview of the global challenges faced by agriculture. As he pointed out, a new way of thinking will be crucial to deliver the predicted requirement for 70% more food by 2050 without destroying the environment. He highlighted the importance of global and regional trade systems as the global population balance changes, and the need for resilience in the food chain. The pursuit of scientific excellence and collaborations is key to meeting these daunting challenges.
