Livestock Performance: Feeding Biotech Crops
To date, genetically enhanced plants in the marketplace that are used as feeds for livestock are based on producing insecticidal compounds or developing herbicide tolerance. Corn grain, whole plant green chop corn, corn silage, corn residue, soybeans, and soybean meal from the current genetically enhanced plants have been fed to chickens, sheep, beef cattle, and dairy cows and compared with fee...
متن کاملInsect-resistant biotech crops and their impacts on beneficial arthropods.
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 (GM) crops. By 2010, the global value of the seed alone was US $11.2 billion, with commercial biotech...
متن کاملThe Production and Price Impact of Biotech Crops
Biotech crops have now been grown commercially on a substantial global scale since 1996. This paper examines the production effects of the technology and impacts on cereal and oilseed markets through the use of agricultural commodity models. It analyses the impacts on global production, consumption, trade and prices in the soybean, canola and corn sectors. The analysis suggests that world price...
متن کاملAre Biotech Crops and Conventional Crops like Products? an Analysis under Gatt
The transatlantic debate over the use of genetically modified organisms (“GMO”s) as food products, with the US as a proponent on one side, and the European Union (“EU”) as an opponent on the other, is set to take center stage. The US has initiated formal legal action under the World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement System, charging that the EU violates several agreements of international t...
متن کاملBiotech crops' seal of safety does not convince skeptics.
G enetically modified organisms (GMOs) have become nearly ubiquitous in U.S.-produced corn, soybeans, and canola, and more than twothirds of the processed foods Americans consume contain such ingredients. Government agencies and international bodies have repeatedly approved the foods for human consumption while arguing that such bioengineered crops help preserve the environment and could save m...
