Simulation and evaluation of GM and non-GM segregation management strategies among European grain merchants
نویسنده
چکیده
6 Considering the European regulations, a product need to be labelled as containing GM when 7 the adventitious presence of GM material exceed 0.9%. During collection, crops from many 8 fields are combined to fill a silo. Three management strategies to avoid the risk of mixing GM 9 and non-GM crops were identified by a descriptive work based on cases studies in various 10 region of France: defining GM and non-GM silos and production zones; specifying the timing 11 of GM and non-GM crops delivery at silos; or using local management rules at each stage of 12

Marketing Mechanisms to Facilitate Co-existence of Gm and Non-gm Crops
Development of specialty crops and GM products has had a great impact on the grain handling industry during past years. Added costs associated with handling these crops have become an issue of major importance for grain-handlers. For this study, data were collected from a survey of elevators in the Upper Midwest. The information gathered concerned their segregation practices, and the associated...
متن کاملWho pays the costs of non-GMO segregation and identity preservation?
This paper proposes an analytical framework to examine the market and welfare impacts of GMOs, when some consumers refuse genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and when two supply channels are segregated (one for goods that containing GMOs and one for non-genetically-modified identity-preserved goods). Our analytical framework begins at the level of individual farmers, handlers and consumers, t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...
متن کاملPost-anthesis Drought Stress Effects on Photosynthesis Rate and Chlorophyll Content of Wheat Genotypes
Water stress is one of the major abiotic stresses in agriculture worldwide. In order to assess photosynthesis response and grain yield of 25 wheat genotypes under water deficit (post-anthesis stress) conditions, a 2-year study (2010-12) was carried out as a split-plot arrangement using randomized complete block design with three replications. The most sensitive gas exchange variable to water de...
