Abstract

They studied the economic effects, the risks and the practical bottlenecks of the supply of non- GM feed for animal production in 4 different scenarios. To this purpose, a project team was formed with experts on plant sciences, genetic modification, analytical techniques, animal nutrition, chain management, and agro-economics. Design and progress of the project was evaluated with stakeholders in policy making, consumer organisations and feed and food producers. The scenarios were production of organic feed, and of feed with threshold levels of unintended GMO content at <0.9%,
