Gene Editing Now Lets Corn Pull Nitrogen from the Air

EU gene edited crops are now cleared for planting, with the first seed reaching European fields around summer 2028 after a two year wait. Ben Klieve, StoneX Financial Inc. Senior Research Analyst, explains what the European Parliament rules change for farmers and how gene editing differs from GMO technology. Gene editing switches genes already inside a crop up, down or off rather than introducing foreign DNA, and that distinction is what the European Parliament rules turn on. Faster and cheaper than GMO development, it reaches crops the seed industry once ignored, from sunflowers to cover crops, alongside waxy corn and biofertilizers that let corn draw nitrogen from the air. 00:00 - Europe Backs Gene Edited Crops 00:41 - Gene Editing Versus GMO Seed 01:50 - EU Ends Its Gene Editing Ban 02:43 - Niche Crops and Waxy Corn Win 06:02 - Organic Rules Give an Opt Out 07:05 - Europe's Yield Gap Until 2028 Discover Actionable Markets Insights with StoneX Market Intelligence: https://shop.stonex.com/collections/all?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sxtv_guest_ben_klieve&utm_content=share Like and subscribe for more financial market insights. #CRISPR #StoneX #BenKlieve #GMO --------- Like this video?
