UC research shows GM crops do not have better yields

North American crop production has fallen behind that of Western Europe, despite US farmers using genetically modified (GM) seed and more pesticide, University of Canterbury researchers have found.
The main point of difference between the regions is the adoption of GM seed in North America and the use of non-GM seed in Europe, the researchers say.
