GeneBEcon is harnessing the potential of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) to enable energy-saving, low-input, and improved agricultural production and industrial processing for a sustainable bioeconomy.
• As with many other scientific breakthroughs, NGTs allow us to make new discoveries in biology.
• NGTs are valuable additions to other plant breeding techniques.
• NGTs contribute to reduce agricultural and industrial pollution.
GeneBEcon is a Horizon Europe-funded project that will examine the innovation potential of gene editing in enabling a sustainable bioeconomy in Europe. Through the application of this technology in potato and microalgae, GeneBEcon intends to promote energy-efficient, low-input, and improved agricultural production and industrial processing for a sustainable bioeconomy.
The project is coordinated by the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU, Sweden) and started on September 2022.
