Transgenic plant varieties are grown since 1996 on surfaces increasing each year. They covered 114 million hectares worldwide in 2007, which shows their success among the farmers in developed as well as developing countries, despite the propaganda campaigns of the environmental movements and advocates of decline. The first transgenic crops (soybean, corn, coton and rapeseed) offer benefits in terms of health, economy and environment. Europe and especially France, which reject this technology, sentence their research to death and penalize their agriculture.
自1996年以来，转基因植物品种的种植面积逐年增加。2007年，它们在全球的种植面积达到1.14亿公顷，这表明它们在发达国家和发展中国家的农民中都很成功，尽管环保运动和主张衰退的人士进行了宣传活动。首批转基因作物（大豆、玉米、棉花和油菜籽）在健康、经济和环境方面都带来了益处。而欧洲，尤其是法国，拒绝这项技术，扼杀了本国的研究，还让其农业遭受损失。
