IGTC-ISF Meeting

Randy Gordon, NGFA President and acting as a NAEGA volunteer, is back from Nyon, Switzerland where he joined an IGTC team for bilateral meetings with the International Seed Federation. A trip report for this travel is now available here. The meeting was the second meeting conducted between IGTC and ISF to discuss the information needs of the global grain industry concerning the commercialization of crops developed through genetic engineering. During discussions the IGTC and ISF engaged in detailed, substantive discussions on specific information needed from gene-editing seed developers and those commercializing such seeds to preserve the fungible, commingled commodity stream and to avoid trade disruptions.
