[Ngo-sanrm] Doubts About the Promised Bounty of Genetically Modified Crops - The New York Times

[Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources Management Working Group]

For your information:


LONDON — The controversy over genetically modified crops has long focused on largely unsubstantiated fears that they are unsafe to eat.

But an extensive examination by The New York Times indicates that the debate has missed a more basic problem — genetic modification in the United States and Canada has not accelerated increases in crop yields or led to an overall reduction in the use of chemical pesticides.
