Environmental benefits and costs of transgenic crops: introduction.- Environmental effects of genetically modified crops: differentiated risk assessment and management.- Comment on Ervin and Welsh: Environmental effects of genetically modified crops: differentiated risk assessment and management.- Assessing the environmental impact of changes in pesticide use on transgenic crops.- Comment on Kleter and Kuiper: Environmental fate and impact considerations related to the use of transgenic crops.- Biological limits on agricultural intensification: an example from resistance management.- Comment on Laxminarayan and Simpson: Biological limits on agricultural intensification: an example from resistance management.- Stability of pathogen-derived Potato virus Y resistance in potato under field conditions and some aspects of their ecological impact.- Comment on Schubert, Matoušek and Supp: Stability of pathogen-derived Potato virus Y resistance in potato under field conditions and some aspects of their ecological impact.- Bacillus thuringiensis resistance management: experiences from the USA.- Comment on Hurley: Bacillus thuringiensis resistance management: experiences from the USA.- Gene flow from crops to wild plants and its population-ecological consequences in the context of GM-crop biosafety, including some recent experiences from lettuce.- Comment on Van de Wiel, Groot and Den Nijs: Gene flow from crop to wild plants and its population-ecological consequences in the context of GM-crop biosafety, including some recent experiences from lettuce.- Irreversible costs and benefits of transgenic crops: what are they?.- Comment on Demont, Wesseler and Tollens: Irreversible costs and benefits of transgenic crops: what are they?.- Ex post evidence on adoption of transgenic crops:US soybeans.- Comment on Weaver: Ex post evidence on adoption of transgenic crops: US soybeans.- Spatial and temporal dynamics of gene movements arising from deployment of transgenic crops.- Comment on Gilligan, Claessen and Van den Bosch: Spatial and temporal dynamics of gene movements arising from deployment of transgenic crops.- Minimum distance requirements and liability: implications for co-existence.- Comment on Soregaroli and Wesseler: Minimum distance requirements and liability: implications for co-existence.- Biotechnology, the US-EU dispute and the Precautionary Principle.- Comment on Van den Belt: Biotechnology, the US-EU dispute and the Precautionary Principle.- Do patent-style intellectual property rights on transgenic crops harm the environment?.- Comment on Goeschl: Do patent-style intellectual property rights on transgenic crops harm the environment?.- Agricultural biotechnology and globalization: U.S. experience with public and private sector research.- Comment on Graff, Roland-Holst and Zilberman: Agricultural biotechnology and lobalization: how will public-private partnership evolve?.- Will consumers lose or gain from the environmental impacts of transgenic crops?.- Comment on Hobbs and Kerr: Will consumers lose or gain from the environmental impacts of transgenic crops?.- Conclusions.
Concern about the environmental impacts of transgenic crops is one of the major reasons for the EU’s quasi-moratorium on GMOs Shows that the economic implications of these concerns are far-reaching and complex Range from the farm level to research and technology development on the one side and consumer reactions on the other side
