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.
