The booklet "Genetically modified crops" published from the German Research Foundation, does not meet the given claim

Abstract

In December 2009 the German Research Foundation published the booklet "Grüne Gentechnik" (Genetically modified crops) claiming to give a scientifically well balanced information about GMO's in agriculture. In this paper we analyse this approach resulting in a critical review regarding the intention of the booklet. We conclude that the evaluation of GMO's in agriculture primarily from a crop breeding perspective is lacking crucial positions in terms of ecology, socioeconomy, agronomy, nutritional sciences and finally ethics in life science. © 2011 Taube et al.
