About this document
Costs of Non-GMO Segregation in Agriculture by Isha Garg is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the costs of segregating and preserving the identity of non-genetically modified (non-GMO) crops in the United States grain system. It finds that a small fraction of farmer costs come from cleaning equipment, while most costs come from foregoing more profitable GMO crop varieties.
