The agricultural landscape is rapidly evolving, and to stay ahead, the European Union must embrace innovation in #plantbreeding. New genomic techniques (#NGTs) offer immense potential to revolutionize crop development, leading to improved resilience to climate change, higher yields and enhanced nutritional profiles. By adopting these cutting-edge technologies, the EU can bolster the competitiveness of its agriculture sector on the global stage. Increased productivity and sustainability will not only benefit farmers but also contribute to food security and economic growth.
