The European Parliament is expected to approve new rules to make it easier for farmers to grow crops, genetically edited using new genomic techniques (NGTs) . The vote on NGTs is scheduled for June 17. If the EU gives the green light, it would mark a big policy shift. Brussels has maintained a cautious stance on genetically modified organisms  since its regulation of GMOs began in the 1990s. Thirty years ago, GMO agricultural products were often dubbed "Frankenstein foods" or "Frankenfoods."
