Europe on Transgenic Crops : How Public Plant Breeding and Eco-Transgenics Can Help in the Transatlantic Debate

Abstract

Although a range of views about transgenic crops is found in both the United States and Europe, some aspects that are particularly characteristic of European views are seldom mentioned in the United States. Awareness of these viewpoints is critical to improve the clarity of dialogue, focus on ultimate outcomes, and inform the development of consensus-building research, extension, and education activities.
