This report shows that there is significant and growing
opposition to GM crops in many parts of the world, with people and governments remaining extremely cautious about the adoption of GM crops due to escalating public concern about their
socio-economic, environmental and health impacts. This is particularly the case in Europe, Africa, and, most recently, India, which placed a moratorium on planting of its first GM food crop due to widespread concerns about its health, environmental and socio-economic impacts.
