The EU ruling on plant breeding and what it means for Africa
New plant breeding technologies (NPBTs) allow biotic and abiotic problems in crop production to be addressed much faster more precisely than conventional ones. Legal regulations governing the use of technologies vary from country to country. Above all the latest ruling by the European Court of Justice has sparked debate. Our authors look at the implications that the decision taken by the European Union could have for African agriculture and call on African policy-makers not to reject certain strategies and technologies out of hand.
