GM Crop Farm Scale Evaluations: Location of sites

Site Locations

As part of the Government's precautionary approach to GM technology, a research programme has been set up to study what effects, if any, growing and managing GM crops could have on wildlife. During the autumn of 2000, GM oil seed rape was planted as part of the Farm Scale Evaluations (FSEs) across England and Scotland. The confirmed site locations are listed below.
