A chapter in The Coexistence of Genetically Modified, Organic and Conventional Foods, 2016, pp 87-94 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a general overview about Brazil’s GM crop adoption and information on the implementation of specific coexistence rules for maize. While the current GMO situation and policy approaches are widely discussed, there has been an accumulation of practical experiences in Brazil, both from adopting producers and by enforcement of government policy that is less obvious. The chapter focuses predominantly on the Brazilian experience because, taken as a whole, Latin America has few coexistence policies or even coexistence practices that can be discussed.
