Concern about the environmental impacts of transgenic crops is one of the major reasons for the EU’s quasi-moratorium on GMOs. This book shows that the economic implications of these concerns are far-reaching and complex, ranging from the farm to research and technology development to consumer reactions, and that they influence government response, international trade and public and private incentives for R & D.
