Benefits at risk: does the motivation of farmers counteract potential benefits of GM plants?
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research
Herbicide resistant GM plants have been promoted as a tool in the development of more environment-friendly agriculture. The environmental benefits here, however, depend not only on farmer's acceptance of GM crops as such, but also on their willingness to use herbicides in accordance with altered spraying plans. In this paper, we will argue that factors driving the spraying practices of Danish farmers may hamper efforts to secure the environmental benefits of the new crops.
