Global Impact of Biotech Crops : Income and Production Effects , 1996 - 2007
نویسنده
چکیده
This article presents the findings of research on the global economic impact of GM crops since their commercial introduction in 1996. It updates part of the findings of earlier analysis presented by the authors in AgBioForum 8(2&3), 9(3), and 11(1).1 The analysis concentrates on farm income effects because this is a primary driver of adoption amongst farmers (both large commercial and small-scale subsistence). It also considers more indirect farm income or non-pecuniary benefits, and quantifies the (net) production impact of the technology.

The 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 کاملGM Crops : The Global Economic and Environmental Impact — The First Nine Years 1996 – 2004
This study presents the findings of research into the global economic and environmental impact of genetically modified (GM) crops since their commercial introduction in 1996. Several studies have investigated the economic and environmental perspectives of GM crops, but these have usually been limited by trait, country, and/or year. This study therefore aims to quantify these impacts cumulativel...
متن کاملGlobal income and production impacts of using GM crop technology 1996–2014
This paper provides an economic assessment of the value of using genetically modified (GM) crop technology in agriculture at the farm level. It follows and updates earlier annual studies which examined economic impacts on yields, key costs of production, direct farm income and effects, and impacts on the production base of the 4 main crops of soybeans, corn, cotton and canola. The commercialisa...

متن کاملEconomic impact of GM crops
A key part of any assessment of the global value of crop biotechnology in agriculture is an examination of its economic impact at the farm level. This paper follows earlier annual studies which examined economic impacts on yields, key costs of production, direct farm income and effects, and impacts on the production base of the four main crops of soybeans, corn, cotton and canola. The commercia...
