Abstract

Most studies conducted to date about the adoption and impacts of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have examined the direct, on-farm benefits to producers (Qaim, Ann Rev Resour Econ 1:665–694, 2009; Smale et al., Impacts of Transgenic Crops in Developing Countries during the First Decade: Approaches, Findings, and Future Directions, 2009; Pontifical Academy of Sciences, http://www.casinapioiv.va/content/dam/accademia/pdf/sv99.pdf ., 2010; Potrykus and Ammann, Proceedings of a Study Week of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences New Biotechnology 27(5):445–718, 2010; Areal et al. J Agric Sci, doi:10.1017/S0021859612000111, 2012). To estimate on-farm benefits, applied researchers have most often relied on farm data collected through survey interviews to test hypotheses about changes in yield, use of labour and other inputs, costs and returns. The same data can be aggregated to represent benefits to a sector and to society.
