Gene Editing vs GMO Explained as Europe Rewrites Crop Rules

Gene editing vs GMO comes down to foreign DNA. GMOs add genes from other organisms, while gene editing adjusts a crop's own genes. Ben Klieve, StoneX Financial Inc. Senior Research Analyst, explains how the two technologies differ, what Europe's new rules allow and which crops stand to benefit. New European rules allow gene-edited crops to be grown in Europe, a step other regions took long ago. Gene editing speeds up the seed industry's innovation cycle, so crops can be bred to handle pests, drought and high salinity soils far more quickly. Because it is faster and cheaper than GMO development, it also opens the door to niche crops such as sunflowers, beyond the corn, soybeans and cotton that GMO work has focused on. 0:00 GMO vs Gene Editing, DNA Gap 1:08 Europe Greenlights Gene Edits 2:01 Pests, Drought and Salty Soils 2:56 Cheaper Edits Reach Sunflowers 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. #GeneEditing #GMO #StoneX #BenKlieve --------- Like this video?
