Canada breaks own record in biotech crop farming

摘要

In 2012, Canadian farmers planted close to 21 million acres of canola, more than 97% of which was enhanced through biotechnology, according to a report from the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications (ISAAA). This makes Canada the fourth - up a notch from last year - on the list of countries that plant biotech crops in terms of acres farmed. In 2012, Canadian farmers planted about 29 million acres of biotech crops.
