VOLUME 25 NUMBER 6 JUNE 2007 NATURE BIOTECHNOLOGY Alexander J Stein, H P S Sachdev and Matin Qaim respond: Michael Krawinkel raises three issues in his comment to our economic analysis of Golden Rice1. First, he questions the scientific basis of the assumptions that we have used in our impact assessment. Second, he claims that the development of Golden Rice costs “a lot of money’’ and would mainly benefit “agrochemistry” companies. And third, he states that biofortification in general and…

It seems that large-scale implementation of transgenic insecticidal and herbicide tolerant plants do not display considerable negative effects on the environments and, moreover, at least some transgenic plants can improve the corresponding environments and human health.
