Preface
The innovation and scientific and technical development of modern plant varieties (which are novel, distinct, uniform, and stable), including the development of beneficial microorganisms, the access to and use of plant genetic resources, and the development of biotechnological and biosafety inventions, are regulated at the international, regional, and national levels. This regulation is in the form of many treaties, conventions, protocols, international agreements, and other regional and domestic rules. This complex set of rules has resulted in challenges to make global interpretations, due to overlapping, gaps, ambiguities, contradictions, and lack of consistency. The big picture is even more complex, as a series of scientific developments applied in plant breeding in general—especially in gene-editing techniques— have rendered these international regulatory frameworks obsolete. Feeding and providing energy to the world requires doubling agricultural production between 2010 and 2050. Attaining this goal demands a yearly 2.4% growth rate in the main crops. A series of studies and analyses from different sources point to the fact that the prod
