Question: Hi, Has there been any studies on the effect of genetic modification (GM) in plants for human consumption on the ecosystems around the areas involved? I ask because if a plant is made to be disease or "pest" resistant then is it not going to have as larger effect as the use of things like pesticides (especially petrochemical pesticides) have on the ecosystems (like the DDT problems with bioaccumulation through the food chain) Thanks AWood

Do you know whether the actual modification of the plants (crops) to be pest resistant actually works, and therefore has an effect on the ecosystem which surrounds it and of which it is included? AWood
