Co-existence in North American agriculture: can GM crops be grown with conventional and organic crops? (2004)

This paper is relevant to the Co-Existence categories in the following areas:

Crops:	Maize, Soybean, and Oilseed Rape
Traits:	Insect Resistance, Herbicide Tolerance, Virus Resistance, Fungal Resistance, Other, and Insect Res. (BT)
Countries:	Canada, and US
Regions:	North America
ImpactAreas:	Co-Existence

Abstract or Summary:

This paper examines the issue of co-existence of GM and non GM (including organic) crops in North America, where GM crops account for 60% of combined plantings of sooybean, corn and canola.

The evidence to date shows that GM crops have co-existed with conventional and organic crops without significant economic or commerical problems.
