The Impact of the EU Regulatory Constraint of Transgenic Crops on Farm Income
March 4, 2011| |
A paper on the Impact of the EU Regulatory Constraint of Transgenic Crops on Farm Income has been recently published by Science Direct. The paper is authored by researchers from University of Reading School of Agriculture, Policy and Development led by Julian Park, and presents revenue estimates foregone by EU farmers, if they will not plant insect resistant and herbicide tolerant transgenic crops. The paper noted that "this foregone revenue margin is likely to increase if the current level of approval and growth remains low, as new transgenic events come to market and are rapidly taken up by farmers in other parts of the world."
