Résumé
New Breeding Techniques are able to create organisms that do not (completely) contain
external genetic material and are especially interesting since they enable DNA mutations faster
and more precise than ever before. With the development of the New Breeding Techniques
the debate about its legislation started, since these techniques might be excluded from GMOlegislation. In 2018, the European Court of Justice decided that these New Breeding
Techniques do require the GMO-legislation according to Directive 2001/18/EC. Organic
Agriculture refuses gene technology and therefore it bans these New Breeding Techniques.
Hence, even if the New Breeding Techniques were legislated as exemption from the GMODirective, they would not be allowed in organic agriculture. Organic consumers, however, seem
to have a slightly different understanding of ‘organic’ than identified in the Principles of
Organic Agriculture. The question then is for whom ‘organic’ actually is organic and why, what
the limits of biotechnology in organic agriculture are, and how this can be explained by linking
different perspectives to nature.
