摘要

Farmers and consumers have benefited from advances in agricultural technology for centuries, but the most recent innovation--transgenic modifications of crops--has generated enormous controversy. It is well known that whereas genetically modified (GM) crops have been grown extensively in Argentina, Canada, and the United States since 1996, environmental and consumer groups have largely blocked the GM crop revo lution in Europe and Japan. It is less clear, however, what choices developing coun tries will make concerning the new technology. In this document, Robert L. Paarlberg devises a system for classifying policy choices toward GM crops in the areas of intellectual property rights, food safety, biosafety, trade, and public research investment. He then presents an up-to-date snap shot and analysis of policies toward GM crops for four countries: Brazil, China, India, and Kenya. Of these four countries, only China has officially approved the commercial planting of GM crops. Although scientists and some policymakers in Brazil, India, and Kenya are pushing for adoption of GM crops, pre cautionary biosafety policies in these countries are keeping these crops out of the hands of farmers.
