A chapter in The Coexistence of Genetically Modified, Organic and Conventional Foods, 2016, pp 333-343 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract It looks increasingly likely that the future of biotechnology will be determined as much in the marketplace as in the capitals of key nation states. Regardless of what governments now do about regulating biotechnology in the agri-food sector, the technology seems to be irreversibly present in parts of the global marketplace. How the market is able to respond to diverging and incommensurate demands about the provenance of food will influence the scale and scope of benefits and costs generated, and ultimately will determine how investors (both public and private) allocate resources to this area. Coexistence will either be part of the solution or part of the problem.
