Thu, 27 Mar 2003 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.merid.org/fs-agbiotech/more.php?articleID=3057 This report argues that the U.K. government's farm scale evaluations (FSEs) of herbicide-tolerant genetically modified (GM) crops will not be able to definitively conclude whether or not those crops "will lead to ecologically important reductions in biodiversity." The report focuses on the ability of the FSEs to detect biodiversity differences between fields of GM crops and non-GM crops. Fri, 28 Mar 2003 00:00:00 -0500
