Title: Brief 34: Global status of commercialized biotech/GM crops: 2005.
Author : James, Clive
During the period 1996 to 2005, an accumulated total of 475 million hectares or 1,173 million acres (over 1 billion acres) has been successfully grown, accumulatively since 1996, as a result of 35 million repeat decisions by farmers to plant biotech crops. Farmers have signaled their strong vote of confidence in crop biotechnology by consistently increasing their plantings of biotech crops by double-digit growth rates every single year since biotech crops were first commercialized in 1996, with the number of biotech countries increasing from 6 to 21 in the same period.
