The article explores the potential of CRISPR gene-editing technology to address the challenges of feeding a growing global population, with benefits such as improved crop yields, enhanced nutritional content, and greater resilience to climate change. While CRISPR offers promising solutions for sustainable agriculture, its incorporation requires navigating complex regulatory and patent landscapes.

FOOD ENGINEERING has been serving the information needs of manufacturing and operations executives in the food and beverage industry for more than 93 years. Consumers may not understand the delicate balance of science, engineering, and artistry needed to take raw ingredients and create the delicious foods and drinks they eat every day—if they did, they’d wonder how it ever happens. FOOD ENGINEERING takes the mystery of how it’s done away from the professionals it serves, while preserving the wonder of the process. It shares what’s new and how it’s done through a blend of divulging the latest in consumer trends, case studies. and deep dives into engineering processes.
