Every crop & livestock that we raise today has been domesticated from the wild, genetically altered through deliberate selection. Here’s a thread of what we eat that were modified over millennia but not “engineered” through biotech from @cracked
Handful of wild almonds can kill you. Thank the first person who spotted a non-poisonous mutant tree in Persia, now you have trail mix!
Fertile Crescent gave us so many crops. The Italian chain of restaurants owe their existence to the Levant region

Where's all the arable land in the world! 99% of our calories from land folks and it is very, very limited – Only 18% of our land surface is highly fertile, without soil problems like salinity, acidity, arid etc. Why we need innovation like GM crops and gene editing to feed us
Slide stolen from then EU science chief Ann Glover's presentation in 2014
The previous slide was not able 'arable land' alone but showed fertile land suitable for high productive farming. In the following thread I show the reasons why. Figure below shows that most tropical soils lack nutrients or too acidic or sandy. They are low-fertile

Happy tenth birthday CRISPR tech! Now that we have had a decade of genome editing, what’s in store for the next ten years? ⁦@doudna_lab⁩ tells us! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
The past decade of CRISPR has focused on building the platforms for generating gene knockouts, creating knockout mice, genetic screening,& multiplexed editing. Medicine & ag applications serve as the focus for the next decade as society’s demands drive innovation in CRISPR tech
The future of CRISPR genome editing will intersect with advances in tech such as machine learning, live-cell imaging, & sequencing. We may witness FDA approval for the first CRISPR-based medicine, as well as increasing numbers of CRISPR treatments moving to clinical trials
