Your shortcut on the need for communication between researchers and policymakers
This mini review featured in the open access journal “Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems” underscores the critical importance of collaboration and communication between researchers and policymakers engaged in the development of bioengineered/genome-edited carbon capture and sequestration (BE/GEd-CCS) crops or voluntary carbon markets.
Given their significant potential to enhance carbon capture and storage in soil, both BE and GEd crops hold promise in combating climate change. However, the effective implementation of this technology necessitates comprehensive consideration and understanding of various factors, including regulatory frameworks, funding opportunities, and social implications. Thus, a holistic approach is essential to address the challenges and opportunities associated with the development and deployment of BE/GEd-CCS crops.
As the Carbonica Excellence HUB initiative aims to integrate carbon farming innovations into practice, delving into the utilisation of lab-modified crops with high carbon sequestration capacity presents an intriguing avenue for further exploration.
