[…] Study finds that “GM is neither the obvious way to increase yields nor is its introduction consistent with increasing agricultural biodiversity through cultivar diversity”. […] This paper finds that the adoption of GM seed used in north American staple crop production are lowering yields and increasing pesticide use compared to western Europe, which is largely non-GM. […] A recent study by the Environment Agency of Austria discusses the socio-economic aspects of the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). […] A new report makes recommendations to the EU after finding many negative consequences of 20 year of commercial GMO cultivation in the US.
