What value is being given to the experiences of growing GM crops in North America, or elsewhere in the world?
There have been contradictory reports about the performance of GM crops elsewhere in the world. Any evidence that is relevant to the safety assessment of GM crops in the UK is always considered very carefully. In general though it is a valid argument that agronomic conditions differ between the UK and, North America for example where the majority of GM crops are grown, to the extent that direct comparisons are not always of value.
