What is changing in food shopping – and what consumers in the region should pay attention to

Those who shop in Bayreuth and Upper Franconia will have to prepare for changes in the coming months and years. New rules in European food law are intended to simplify procedures, enable innovation and secure supply. For consumers, this means less bureaucracy in the background, but new questions when shopping. Prof. Dr. Kai Purnhagen, an expert in food law from Bayreuth, draws attention to this.

Allowing Genetic Editing in Organic Food Production

Genetic editing should be permitted in organic crop cultivation to increase yields and make agriculture more sustainable. This is the position of an international research team led by the researchers of the University of Bayreuth. In an article published in Cell Reports Sustainability, the researchers propose introducing new organic standards to this end.
