The project is a field trial, which has been approved by America's Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA. But the way the technology is regulated has provoked concerns.
We can take them out of field trials without getting any of those sorts of permissions and can take them all the way through to commercialisation which is fabulous.
So, to get the best possible data on these older wheats compared to the newer ones, the team conducted field trials at four different locations in Germany -- by growing 75 different varieties of wheat in each place.
