Ottawa—Final Canadian Food Inspection Agency guidance is all that is required to enable Canadian farmers to begin planting gene-edited soybean varieties just as they can sow organic, regular and genetically modified ones, says Brian Innes, Executive Director of Soy Canada.
It set the “stage for new seed innovation in Canadian soybeans and was the second last step for soybeans produced using gene editing to be commercialized and bring benefits to consumers in Canada and around the world,” Innes said. The new varieties will produce “more resilient, healthier and more bountiful crops for our growers.”
Seed companies in Quebec, Ontario, and Western Canada can develop varieties that meet customer’s specific needs remains, which contributes to the sustainable growth of the soybean industry, Innes said.
