ISAAA Releases Brief on Farmer Adoption and Uptake Pathways of GM Crops
October 29, 2014| |
ISAAA releases Brief 48: Adoption and Uptake Pathways of GM/Biotech Crops by Small-scale, Resource-poor Farmers in China, India, and the Philippines. The Brief shows how modern biotechnology has transformed farming into a profession that harvests agronomic and socio-cultural benefits beyond promise. It embodies the stories of how biotech crops, particularly Bt cotton in China and India and biotech corn in the Philippines, are changing the lives of small farmers, their families, communities, and even nations.
ISAAA Brief 48 is based on the results of a three-country study commissioned by ISAAA and funded by The John Templeton Foundation.
