 In this episode of BusinessLine's Agrispective, host Subramani Mancombu talks with Dr. RS Paroda, former Director General of ICAR, about the transformative potential of gene editing in agriculture. Dr. Paroda explains how gene editing, using tools like CRISPR-Cas, allows precise changes to crop DNA to improve traits such as drought tolerance, pest resistance, and nutrient content—without introducing foreign genes. This technology speeds up crop improvement and helps address challenges like climate change and soil health. The episode goes on to cover India’s regulatory approach to gene editing, which supports faster innovation while ensuring safety. Dr. Paroda emphasises the importance of public awareness and science-backed communication to address concerns about gene-edited crops. Tune in to learn how gene editing could revolutionise Indian farming, improve yields, and support nutrition security in the face of evolving agricultural challenges.
