Public Deliberation on Gene-Edited Crops; Agricultural biotechnology; Gene editing; Evidence synthesis; Biosafety regulationAbstract
Public Deliberation on Gene-Edited Crops has moved quickly from a research idea to something a working breeding or
production programme can actually use, but the evidence behind it has not always kept pace. We pull together the current
evidence for public deliberation on gene-edited crops, covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an
eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where researchers and regulators are still largely working it out for themselves.
Selective, context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket
avoidance.
