This book, containing 20 chapters, addresses the major concerns of scientists, policy makers, environmental lobby groups and the general public regarding the controversial issue on environmental impact (e.g. on soil and water ecology and nontarget organisms) of transgenic crops, from an editorially ...
Approximately 10.3 million farmers in 22 countries grew biotech (genetically modified) crops in 2006. Yet this technology remains one of the most controversial agricultural issues of current times. Many consumer and environmental lobby groups believe that genetically modified (GM) crops will bring...
The potential of transgenic crops to make major contributions to food security and agricultural sustainability worldwide is indisputable. One of the major advantages of transgenic technology is the fact that genes from any source can be accessed and introduced into target crops, facilitating the...
Modern agriculture is challenged with an extremely difficult task where it must produce more food to support the expansion of the global population, with less synthetic inputs and without increasing its global footprint. A crucial factor in the expansion of the global population to its current...
From their introduction in 1996-2007, the genetically modified (GM) crops grown with traits for insecticide resistance (GM IR) have been predominantly maize and cotton varieties expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1 toxins for the control of larval stages of relatively few key moth pest species....
The adoption of transgenic herbicide-resistant crops has made an unfathomable change in global agriculture within the last decade. Currently, an estimated 114.3 million ha of transgenic crops are planted throughout a variety of agroecosystems in 23 developing and industrial countries. Approximately ...
Evaluating the potential for genetically modified (GM) crops to have a negative impact on pollinating insects has long been recognized as an important part of risk assessment of such plants. Extensive field experience with commercial GM crops, bred for herbicide tolerance or insect resistance using ...
With a projected population of 10 billion by 2050, an immediate priority for agriculture is to achieve increased crop yields in a sustainable and cost-effective way. The concept of using a transgenic approach was realized in the mid-1990s with the commercial introduction of genetically modified...
The Asian corn borer, Ostrinia furnacalis (Guenée) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is the most important insect pest of maize in China. Despite the proven track record of biotech Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) maize to provide an effective means to control lepidopteran pests such as the European corn borer ...
Both poverty and malnutrition are serious problems in the world and both are interrelated. Food security for the poor depends on an adequate supply of food and/or the ability to purchase food. Unfortunately in the world today, more than 3.7 billion people are malnourished because of shortages of...
