Biotechnology and North American specialty crops: Linking research, regulation, and stakeholders
(NABC, 2013)Taxpayers in the United States have invested heavily in public-sector research in agricultural biotechnology to provide more-sustainable and productive crops and safe and nutritious foods. Since the mid-1980s, scientists ... -
Bringing biotech potatoes to market
(NABC, 2013)Challenges to the development and marketing of biotech potatoes. -
Cultural shift: Innovation is a process
(NABC, 2013)The commercialization of genetically engineered traits in specialty crops is a complicated process. University researchers are more accustomed to thinking about innovation as an event rather than as a process. Within Texas ... -
Ensuring food and feed safety: US food law and FDA’s biotechnology consultation process
(NABC, 2013)Safety evaluations of genetically engineered food ingredients are based on the premise that genetically engineered plants are as safe as their traditionally bred counterparts. We encourage developers to engage with us prior ... -
Genetically engineered specialty crops need regulatory assistance
(NABC, 2013)The chief obstacle to getting GM fruits and vegetables onto the market, is the regulatory system. Hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money have supported the development of genetically modified specialty crops. ... -
Getting to yes: How to achieve pre-market approval
(NABC, 2013)The challenges involved in bringing a new genetically engineered crop trait to market can be daunting. There are many possibilities for things to go terribly wrong. Regulatory expertise will not necessarily solve all of ... -
Intellectual property for crop transformation: A continuing saga for agricultural innovation in the public sector
(NABC, 2013)The intellectual-property landscape for transformation has shifted. Sponsors of translational research are increasingly interested in clearing IP barriers in advance of making grant awards. And plant-gene patents may become ... -
Opportunities and challenges for specialty crops: Will they sell if developed?
(NABC, 2013)The topic of this conference, biotechnology and horticultural crops, is about the ability of producers to make a profit, and how future agriculture, globally, will include specialty crops. Although we cannot accurately ... -
Orange juice: Will it be available to drink in the future (agriculturally or commercially)?
(NABC, 2013)Citrus greening is an insect-vectored bacterial disease first detected in Florida in 2005. The National Academy of Sciences identified citrus greening as the most serious disease challenge they had ever reviewed. The insect ... -
