This is from Dominique Planchenault. I am currently working for the French Ministry of Agriculture and we made last year a study on new plant varieties that could be in the pipeline, considering a perspective of 20 years. This report could be useful for participants. The 60-page report, published this year by the Conseil général de l'alimentation, de l'agriculture et des espaces ruraux (CGAAER) of the Ministry, is in French and entitled "Les biotechnologies et les nouvelles varieties végétales". It is available at http://agriculture.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/CGAAER_10157_2012_Rapport_cle015844.pdf (460 KB) or contact me directly (e-mail address below) to request an electronic copy.
