Genetically Modified Crops and Other Organisms: Implications for Agricultural Sustainability and Biodiversity

Author:Brian Johnson
Description:This paper explores some of the implications of using the present outputs from the agricultural biotech industry, draws attention to the science which seems to be missing from the debate, and looks towards the future, when we may well turn to biotechnology to build a more sustainable agriculture. The views are mostly those of the UK statutory conservation bodies and inevitably Eurocentric, but the paper tries to pose some fundamental questions about the implications of agricultural biotech for the developing world.
