The grains industry could produce an additional $157 million worth of canola and wheat each year if genetically modified (GM) canola is commercialised in Australia. A report released today by The University of Melbourne shows that if GM canola is adopted on over half the current canola area there will be substantial economic and environmental benefits. In the report, Dr Robert Norton and Professor Rick Roush from the Faculty of Land and Food Resources provide a summary of more than 20 recent reports on the impact of GM canola in Australia.
