Conference Announcement: Large scale implications of GM-Crop cultivation
Dear Colleagues, we want to inform you about the Conference on 'Implications of GM-Crop Cultivation at Large Spatial Scales' in Bremen, Germany, April 2008. Ecological, agricultural and economic implications of genetically modified (GM) plants on large spatial scales are currently discussed intensively. It is still controversial however, how effects with great spatial extent can be assessed in the risk analysis process, in the approval procedure, in the planning of co-existence measures, and in post market monitoring. The conference aims at compiling methods and strategies, which address issues related to large scale and long term cultivation of GM plants. Topics include empirical work related to risk assessment, theoretical concepts, as well as methodological aspects such as modelling and data analysis facing large spatial and temporal dimensions.
