#China to develop #geneediting tools, new #crop varieties in biotech initiative
The 2024-2028 plan aims to achieve "independent and controllable" #seed sources for key #crops, with a focus to cultivate high-yield, multi-resistant wheat, corn and high-oil, high-yield soybean and rapeseed varieties. Move comes as China intensifies efforts to boost domestic yields of key crops like soybeans to reduce reliance on imports from countries such as #US amid a looming #tradewar.

So #ElonMusk went after a depository of carefully preserved #seeds and #plants and fired the #scientists who look after them, putting at risk one of the world's sources of #genetic #diversity for #crops.
And this #NYT article complains only about the #danger for Americans.

The loss of #insects — “the little things that run the world,” as naturalist E.O. Wilson once put it — has dire implications for #ecosystems in which #birds & #mammals rely on them for #food & #plants depend on them for pollination. #Farmers & gardeners, meanwhile, may be losing allies that act as #pollinators & natural pest control.
