HISTORY: England near the law that allows for change in wheat genes and other agricultural cultures

Plans for legalizing the genetic change of crops in England are envisioned, a movement that scientists say would offer this country a chance for development and stronger growth of numerous traditional varieties. The legislation would also pave the way for editing genes and animals.

This change will be proposed when the current Agriculture Bill arrives at the committee's stages in the House of Lords next month, and is supported by a large number of experts, writes The Guardian, translates Periscope.

The plan would include placing the amendment to this bill to give the state secretary of environment, food and rural affairs -- the power needed to make changes to the Environmental Protection Act that currently limits gene editing.

The knowledge of plant and animal genes is controlled by the same strict laws governing modified organisms. However, scientists say that gene editing is cheaper, faster, simpler, and safer than the technology of modified organisms.

This intense enthusiasm is shared by people who believe that the editing of plant genes can offer England the greatest advantage in agriculture and the food industry after the painful Brex process.

And there were also signs that the government would support this movement. /Periscope
