EU-SAGE is a network representing plant scientists at more than 150 European plant science institutes and societies that have joined forces to provide information about genome editing and promote the development of European and EU member state policies that enable the responsible use of genome editing for sustainable agriculture and food production.

EU-SAGE welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2026/1388.
