Will CRISPR gene editing guarantee us enough food in the future? How does it work to genetically engineer crops and is it dangerous? Some scientists say we need to increase productivity and create new crops that withstand heat and droughts as water, healthy soils, and agricultural land become scarcer. Genome editing, also known as gene scissors, differs from traditional genetic modification as it doesn't use foreign DNA - but the long-term environmental impacts of the technology are hard to assess. Credits: Reporter: Tim Schauenberg Video Editor: Frederik Willmann Supervising Editor: Kiyo Dörrer We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. #PlanetA #Agriculture #CRISPR Read More: Who do feed the world in the future?: www.wri.org/research/creating-sustainable-food-fut… Application of CRISPR in Agriculture: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fsufs.2021.68… Associated risks: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590262… Chapters 00:00 Introduction 00:44 History of plant breeding 01:31 The dilemma 03:02 Rice harvests and droughts 04:20 What is genome editing and how it works 06:34 Smart Bananas 07:14 Risks & hype 09:24 Improving old varieties and AI 11:15 Pros & cons 12:04 Conclusion
