Pedro Fevereiro in podcast version, as part of a partnership between CiB - Centro de Informação de Biotecnologia and TSF radio. In total, 5 Notes on Gene Editing were produced.
The executive director of InnovPlantProtect answers the question “Can gene editing increase agricultural production?” in this podcast, produced as part of a CiB / TSF partnership. The initiative resulted in 5 Notes on Gene Editing in food production and health. The recordings were broadcast by TSF during the week of October 4 to 8, 2021.
The challenge for 2050 is how to feed 10 million people without destroying the planet. This requires changes in food production. Pedro Fevereiro explains how gene editing can help in this process.
