Agenda Problem & Objective Data Results Analysis & Conclusion Gleim, Smyth & Phillips 20152
3
Objective Examine the global regulatory approval patterns to determine trends of GM crop commodities and traits. Gleim, Smyth & Phillips 20153

Methodolgy International Service for the Acquistition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) GMO database GMO prevalent crops: maize/corn, soybeans, canola, and cotton Compare corn approvals by type of approval, events, countries, and traits Gleim, Smyth & Phillips 20154

Analysis Disconnect between trade approvals Strong HTIR approvals Technology diffusion outpaces science- based risk assessment National approval constraint: sharing problem or regulatory competition Gleim, Smyth & Phillips 201518

Conclusion No clear corn trends Inefficient GM event regulations Delaying benefit gains Klümper and Qaim’s (2014) meta-analysis of GM crops quantified a 22% yield increase for GM adopters Current regulation augments food insecurity Gleim, Smyth & Phillips 201519
