Gene Technology Symposium | Nelson

NZKGI will be holding roadshows in October focused on Gene Editing (GE). These events are designed to support growers so they are informed on the current landscape of GE – what it is, where New Zealand stands legislatively, and what’s happening in the global marketplace. Led by NZKGI CEO Colin Bond, the roadshows will feature expert insights from Zespri, the Kiwifruit Breeding Centre, and specialists tracking GE developments in Australia. Key topics include:
  • The status of New Zealand’s government legislative process on GE
  • A scientist’s explanation of what gene editing actually is
  • Zespri’s perspective on market trends and consumer feedback
  • GE developments in the Australian horticultural environment
This is an opportunity to get informed rather than share opinions. Whether you're curious, cautious, or keen to learn more, these sessions will give you the facts you need. Don’t miss out – mark your calendar, RSVP to info@nzkgi.org.nz and come along.
