Abstract
While significant progress has been made on the modification of crops for the benefit of producers, the same
cannot be said in regards to eliciting the potential impact that these crops may have on the wider landscape
and the diversity of life therein. Management impacts can create difficulties when making policy, regulation
and licensing decisions in those countries where agriculture has a significant social and ecological position in
the landscape. To begin to gauge the potential impacts of the management of a selection of GM crops on an
agricultural landscape, four key biodiversity stressors (Chemicals, Introgression, Nutrients and Management:
CINMa) were identified and a grading system developed using published data. Upon application to five selected
GM crops in a case study area, CINMa identifies areas in the wider landscape where biodiversity is likely to be
negatively or positively impacted, as well as agricultural zones which may benefit from the land use change
associated with the management of GM crops and their associated post market environmental monitoring.
