Welcome to the Agricultural Biotechnology Council

"With the passage of the Genetic Technologies Act in 2023 and the secondary legislation in 2025, the UK is now leading Europe in the adoption of innovative agricultural genetic technologies. This is the first step on a long road if we are to meet the challenges of feeding a growing population, reducing carbon emissions, and protecting our natural environment. The ABC welcomes these latest developments and in our members research and development and advocacy we look forward to the latest chapter in agricultural innovation and productivity.”

- Jon Williams (BASF), Chair of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council
