crop-adverse customers. It appears that the anticipated demand in the
EU for non-GM food stabilizes conventional crop supplies and that the
food industry and food retailers are thus far able to handle this. With
molecular farming in the open field and especially in use of food crops,
the EU food industry may consider themselves in an entirely different
situation that would be much more difficult to control and where they
have nothing to gain but much to lose in case of accidental contamina-
tion of the food chain.
Given the characteristics of molecular farming, its inherent busi-
ness rationale, and its differences from first-generation GM crops, policy
development on molecular farming in the EU is likely to require a broad
public debate.
