Workshop-4: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing to improve organic farming.

Organic farming has been gaining popularity in the light of healthy diet. However, excessive pesticide usage in the organic farming is defeating the purpose due to the challenges involved in organic farming with respect to the yield vs. profit. This leads to multiple ethical questions that are still unanswered. This workshop provides insights of the latest genome editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 applications that may eliminate the requirement for the usage of pesticides, especially in the organic farming thus, solving the unethical practices. All are eligible to participate in this workshop.

Please note: Participation in this workshop costs Rs. 500 per head in addition to the ABFR-2020 registration fee.
