Resumo(s)
Portugal is one of the few European Union countries that experience
the “coexistence” of a coexistence legal framework with a
regular coexistence practice. Since 2005, Bt maize crops have
been grown in different regions—either in small or large
farms—in compliance with a law that envisages coexistence
procedures for either individual farmers or groups of farmers
that agree to establish the so called “production zones.” The
monitoring of Bt maize crops is annually run and reported by the
Ministry of Agriculture.
Here we report on the first quinquennium of coexistence in Portugal,
bearing down on regional distribution and evolution, farm
sizes, coexistence measures, GM farmers’ profile and their
assessment of Bt crops and coexistence rules, and Bt maize
destination. Opportunities and constraints are also pointed out.
