Abstract

Farmed animal agriculture is facing big challenges in today’s world. Genome editing technology now offers some solutions, and these need to be melded into the other approaches and strategies that can be deployed to produce a sustainable food system. If we embrace these technologies, and do so within a basic justice framing, we can achieve food security for all, while providing enhanced welfare and reduced environmental footprint contributing to a fair and sustainable carbon-zero future.
