The Agricultural Biotechnology Council of Australia (ABCA) has developed a mini website focused solely on the topical subject of coexistence.  Diversity of crops and production processes has always been a hallmark of Australian agricultural competitiveness, and it will continue to be so for decades to come.  ABCA supports Australian farmers’ freedom of choice whatever they choose to plant, and this principle extends to those using organic, GM or conventional farming systems.
