Coexistence of GM and non-GM arable crops: the non-GM and organic context in the EU
Brookes G, & Barfoot P (2004). P G Economics Ltd UK.
This paper is relevant to the Co-Existence categories in the following areas:
| Crops: | Maize, and Oilseed Rape |
| Traits: | Insect Resistance, Herbicide Tolerance, Virus Resistance, Fungal Resistance, Other, and Insect Res. (BT) |
| Countries: | More than 10 Countries |
| Regions: | EU |
| ImpactAreas: | Co-Existence |
Abstract or Summary:
This paper examines the often made claim that there is no demand for GM crops in Europe and that GM and organic crops cannot successfully co-exist.
It concludes that, for the future, the likelihood of economic and commercial problems arising from co-existence remains very limited, even if a significant development of commercial GM crops and incresaed plantings of organic crops were to occur.
