德国研究发现转基因作物有利于农民与环境

    食品伙伴网讯   据外媒报道，在本月支持转基因“阵营”取得了一个重大进展，因为一项德国研究发现转基因作物有利于农民降低成本，并且减少了农场中农药的使用量。

    该研究对1995年至2014年3月的转基因作物文献进行了荟萃分析，是针对农场转基因作物的最大规模审查。研究发现，耐除草剂转基因作物会降低生产成本，减少了农场中农药的使用量，抵消了高昂的转基因种子价格。

    本次研究由德国联邦经济合作与发展部以及欧盟第七框架计划食品安全共同资助。

    部分原文报道如下：

    The “pro” side in the debate over the benefit of genetically modified foods got a big boost from science this month, with an international study funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development （BMZ） and the European Union's Seventh Framework Program FOODSECURE concluding that GM crops are good for the economy and reduce the amount of pesticides used in agriculture.

    The German study is the largest review ever conducted on the effect of GM crops on farming. It is a meta-analysis, meaning a rigorous study of the numbers inside past studies on the topic. The review included studies of GM crops conducted from 1995 to March 2014 that were published in English.
