Abstract
The paper takes one significant element of the
agriculture production – use of genetically modified organisms
(GMO) – and considers it in relation to the production pattern
in Polish farms. It asks if under the ceteris paribus conditions
the use of GMO plants in Polish farms will have influence on
the cropping structure. To answer this question only a
scientific and theoretical assumption has been applied that
GMO cultivation is permitted without restrictions in Poland.
The approach combines both the very short experience of the
new biotech based system of agricultural production and a
modeling, which builds up and aggregates the impacts of
individual farm responses under assumed situations.
