InPP participates in debate session on Breeding and Genomic Techniques

On June 27 at 10:30 a.m., InnovPlantProtect (InPP) will take part in a debate session promoted by the Planning, Policies and General Administration Office (GPP) on Improvement and genomic techniques, the subject of the most recent edition of the publication CULTIVAR - Cadernos de Análise e Prospetiva.

The initiative aims to contribute to reflection on the definition of appropriate policies for the use and development of the best practices available in this area, which will generate benefits for agents in the agri-food sector and the population in general.

The session includes a brief presentation on the topic and a round table with a panel of experts, including InPP's executive director, Pedro Fevereiro, followed by a debate with the participants.

Pedro Fevereiro will be one of the speakers at the round table, who will talk about the article entitled “Plant breeding and molecular-based technologies, in particular genomic editing”, which he wrote for the magazine CULTIVAR.

Participation in the session is free, but to attend in person at the GPP's premises at the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries in Lisbon, prior registration is required, available until June 26, here.

The session will be broadcast live on the GPP's YouTube channel.
