Resumen
Descripción
The cultivation of genetically modified (GM) crops is changing agriculture practices in a number of developed and developing countries. The area of GM crops planted worldwide continues to increase. As agriculture is intrinsically linked to the environment, FAO invited sixteen technical experts in their individual capacities, from a wide range of countries, to a three-day Expert Consultation on ''Environmental Effects of Genetically Modified Crops''. The aim of the consultation was to assess the current understanding of the effects of GM crops on ecosystems, identify gaps and priorities and indicate the role of FAO in this context.
