GMO cultivation and nature conservation
Description
The study focuses on the question of how environmental and nature conservation aspects can be taken into account in the cultivation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Above all, the spatial conflict potential between GMO cultivation and nature conservation is in the foreground. Two case studies show the effects of potential GMO cultivation in or around protected areas. The first deals with the cultivation of insect-resistant maize in the hills of southeast Styria, the second with the cultivation of herbicide-tolerant rapeseed near Lake Neusiedl. In both cases, risk scenarios are presented and implementation strategies are developed. Based on this, recommendations for the use case are given and it is shown which data bases are necessary to estimate potential risks (e.g. for protected species).
