AC Matin Welcome Message
Dear congress visitors, it is an honor and pleasure to welcome you to ECBB 2024. Impressive progress in Biotechnology – gene editing, for example -- have revolutionized the prospects of plant breeding. It’s now realistic to look forward to developing crops that can adapt to climate change and have higher yields. Also, directed, and rational methods are now within reach to greatly diminish crop pests. Once favorable changes are achieved, they are likely to prevail, as has been the case through evolution. These changes will also aim at facilitating organic farming compatible with biodiversity. The capability of achieving desirable changes in crops, resulting in Precision Agriculture, promises a new world of food sufficiency without deleterious environmental consequences.
