Abstract or Summary:
This paper examines the issue of co-existence of GM and non GM crops as a result of the 260 Farm Scale Evalutaion field trials conduction in the UK.
It concludes that the evidence to date shows that no conventional or organic crop located next to one or more of the FSEs experienced any economic loss and that the likelihood of ecoomic and commercial problems of co-existence therefore remains very limited.
