Outcomes
Outcomes2. Enhanced understanding of gene flow informs practical strategies for coexistence in maize, oilseed rape and sugar beet.
3. A synthesis of available data on environmental impacts of Bt maize and HT oilseed rape within European cropping systems has been produced
4. A landscape generator simulating agricultural landscapes has been designed and is available on-line.
5. An operational, practical and dynamic generic gene flow modelling platform LandFlow-Gene is available for research purposes
6. The feasibility of coexistence and its costs have been analyzed in various European agricultural situations and scenarios for managing coexistence are proposed.
7. Costs of coexistence highly depend on the framework for implementing coexistence measures and uniform measures are not optimal
8. SIGMEA has produced the first large-scale empirically based estimation of the economic impact of a GM crop for EU farmers.
9. A framework for designing multi-attribute decision-support systems has been proposed
10. On-site novel methods for GMO detection have been designed
11. Monitoring issues for EU were discussed and recommendations have been made
12. The current regulatory regimes of EU and member states, liability and redress issues have been analyzed and recommendations have been made.
13. Recommendations for the decision-making processes relating to the market release of GM crops under progress can be derived from SIGMEA outcomes
14. SIGMEA is providing the scientific community as well as decision-makers with adequate information about gene flow and its implications in terms of coexistence.
