- Abstract
A letter is presented which presented results from 49 peer-reviewed publications reporting on farmer surveys that compare production and other indicators of economic performance for users and non-users of commercialized genetically modified (GM) crops. Included in the surveys are GM insect-resistant and herbicide-tolerant crops from 12 countries, including Australia and China. Findings showed that farmers in developing countries are generating increased yield compared from their counterparts in developed countries.
