Could gene edited plants play a key part in helping to improve global food inequality?...

The video discusses the use of gene editing, specifically CRISPR CAS 9, to enhance vitamin D levels in tomatoes. It contrasts gene editing with traditional genetic modification, highlighting the removal of foreign DNA in the former. The UK government is easing regulations to bring gene-edited crops to market, with the first outdoor gene-edited wheat crop in Europe. While some see this as a positive step, opponents argue it could lead to more complex genetic engineering. The video emphasizes the importance of keeping pace with global advancements in gene editing.
