根据美国国家食品与农业政策中心(NCFAP)的最近调查,2001年在美国种植6种转基因(GM)作物增加了40亿磅(180万吨)产量,通过降低生产成本使种植者节省了12亿美元,并减少了4600万磅农药的使用,这项调查由NC-FAP的计划主任Leonard Gianessi在今年6月加拿大多伦多召开的BIO2002会议上公布的。如果包括在该调查中的另外21钟GM作物被美国农民采纳,那么每年总产量增加可达到140亿磅,节省种植者的费用16亿美元,减少农药使用1.63
According to a recent survey by the National Center for Food and Agriculture Policy (NCFAP), planting 4 billion pounds (1.8 million tonnes) of 6 GM crops in the United States in 2001 saved growers $ 1.2 billion by reducing their production costs US dollar and reduced the use of 46 million pounds of pesticides by a survey by Leonard Gianessi, program director of NC-FAP, at the BIO 2002 meeting in Toronto, Canada, in June this year. If the additional 21-minute GM crop included in the survey was adopted by US farmers, total annual production could increase by 14 billion pounds, saving growers $ 1.6 billion and reducing the use of pesticides by 1.63
