The next generation of genetic improvement of livestock is likely to come from gene editing. To understand the technology and its regulatory future, you have to listen to a scientist from the University of California Davis describe it and her concerns about its future.
Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam, from the University of California Davis, is a world leader in animal genetics and biotechnology. Especially in the art of gene editing.
Dr. Van Eenennaam talked about the potential advancements this cutting-edge method of breeding could bring to the agriculture industry with Radio Oklahoma Ag Network Farm Director Ron Hays. According to Van Eenanaam, the science is precise and incredibly useful, but a lack of understanding has hindered a wider acceptance of the technology by the general public and regulatory authorities.
