Genome editing is often presented as a radical breakthrough in research and innovation that will be far reaching in its application and revolutionary in its consequences. The promotion of expectations triggers concerns in the general opinion and in the research community along the binary lines of too little regulation vs. too much regulation. To what extent are existing international regulatory frameworks adapted to this new technology and responsive to the concerns of different stakeholders? The objective of this talk is to understand the plurality of scope and approaches of international legal instruments relevant to genome editing in food and agriculture, and to explore the global governance dynamics and the likely impacts of such dynamics on research and innovation.
