This funding will support ASTA’s activity with NTPMD and FAS/Taipei. ASTA will identify PBI experts and thought leaders to produce an educational video seminar series about advancements in PBI, especially genome editing. This will help to improve understanding of PBI in Taiwan as the Taiwanese government develops regulations for PBI and encourages further social acceptance of the technology. NTPMD and ASTA agree that ASTA’s product will focus only on plant biotechnology. NTPMD and ASTA further agree that the parties and ASTA’s product will use the term “precision breeding” or “precision breeding innovation” whenever characterizing the larger activity as a recognition that the activity may separately address animal and/or microbial biotechnology. The activity is comprised of: coordinating a group of technical experts in PBI; assisting them with presentations; providing technological support and translation services; delivering the finalized video presentations to NTPMD and Post; and securing participation of 2-3 suitable experts for virtual participation in two rollout events organized by FAS/Taipei with NTPMD input.
