Italy: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
This report describes production, trade, research, policy, and marketing issues of genetically engineered (GE) plants, animal products, and microbial biotechnology in Italy. Despite Italy’s opposition to GE products, the Italian Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty, and Forestry, along with leading farmers’ associations (Coldiretti, Confagricoltura, and Cia), agri-food industry players, and scientists have come forward in favor of innovative biotechnologies, such as genome editing. On June 13, 2023, Italy authorized field trials of innovative biotechnologies for experimental and scientific purposes until December 31, 2024.
