USDA/FAS is offering this grant to promote international regulatory best practices for animal biotechnology.

This grant is for the purpose of fostering global collaboration and understanding of animal biotechnology. It aims to bring together international regulators, developers, and the livestock industry to identify and establish best practices for the regulation of animal biotechnology products. A key objective is to enhance regulatory capacity in developing nations, ensuring the safe development and trade of these products in global markets. By facilitating clear and consistent regulations, the initiative seeks to overcome challenges in global animal agriculture and ensure the potential of animal biotechnology is fully realized and its products can be readily traded worldwide.

Additional Information

Agency Name:	Foreign Agricultural Service
Description:	USDA/FAS works to collaborate with U.S. government agencies, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations, and industry to promote U.S. products of biotechnologies and understanding and acceptance of agricultural biotechnologies, including new initiatives related to the technology. This project seeks to support these efforts by bringing regulators from around the world together with animal biotechnology developers and the livestock industry to help identify regulatory best practices. It is intended to strengthen the capacity of countries, especially in the developing world, to create regulations that will enable safe products of animal biotechnology to help address challenges faced in global animal agriculture. This potential will only be realized if the products of animals produced using biotechnology can be readily traded in global markets.
