  • Title: [Cultivation and environmental impacts of GMO crops].
    Author: Pelletier G.
    Journal: J Soc Biol; 2009; 203(4):329-32. PubMed ID: 20122392.
    Abstract:
    Transgenic plant varieties are grown since 1996 on surfaces increasing each year. They covered 114 million hectares worldwide in 2007, which shows their success among the farmers in developed as well as developing countries, despite the propaganda campaigns of the environmental movements and advocates of decline. The first transgenic crops (soybean, corn, coton and rapeseed) offer benefits in terms of health, economy and environment. Europe and especially France, which reject this technology, sentence their research to death and penalize their agriculture.
