Biotechnology promises to increase yields while reducing environmental impacts. It can help feed the world whose population is only going to increase. Regulation must be science-based, not fear-based. Harmonization of regulations on plants and animals will do much to allow small biotech players to compete in innovation with the big players.

Given that many of these alterations are already present in some populations via natural mutations with known outcomes and known risks or lack there of. It makes even less sense when compared to unregulated randomly induced mutagenics, e.g radiation, with unknown outcomes. However, even those have shown to have little or no new risks or harms. The real harm is to consumers and the wellbeing of animals who cannot realize the benefits of this technology

I am the CEO of a small aquaculture technology company in California, and we understand that gene editing is going to be an important breeding tool in the future. We have started demonstrating the efficiency of this approach to make performance of fish performance more efficient. The modifications could occur in nature, and allow us to speed up the incorporation of advanced traits compared to traditional breeding. There is no scientific reason to consider plant and animal applications of this technology materially different from a regulatory perspective. I also encourage a more sensible regulatory approach toward gene editing, and hope that harmonization of regulation will be a first step in that direction.
