Abstract: Abstract The evidence in support of the various claims of gains and losses following the commercialization of GM crops is examined in this chapter. The gains from adopting GM crops are well reported. The distribution of benefits and costs to non-adopters and others beyond the GM crop space are analyzed, providing an assessment to date of the net gains or losses accruing to all adopters and non-adopters, both in the immediate vicinity and more distanced from the disruptive innovation.
