• Food crises, food regimes and food movements: rumblings of reform or tides of transformation? (2011, unknown): “Renewed calls for reinvestment in agriculture and a revival of the Green Revolution (Collier 2008) are often accompanied by strident arguments in favor of genetically modified crops (Paarlberg 2008), and occasionally by calls for reforms (Sachs 2005).”
• Rising Food Prices, Food Price Volatility, and Social Unrest (2015, unknown): “2004), encouraging urban or peri-urban agriculture (Maxwell 1995), liberalizing the international trade of agricultural commodities, increasing access to and the use of biotechnology in developing countries (Paarlberg 2009), eliminating farm subsidies in industrialized countries, and so on.”
• The Global Supply and Demand for Agricultural Land in 2050: A Perfect Storm in the Making? AAEA Presidential Address (2010, background): “This is nowhere more evident than in the debate over the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in agricultural production which has constrained the adoption of yield-increasing technologies in many parts of the world (Paarlberg 2008).”
• The Economics of Genetically Modified Crops (2009, background): “…reservations are particularly strong in Europe, but they have also spilled over to other countries and regions through trade regulations, public media, and outreach efforts of antibiotech lobbying groups (e.g., Pinstrup-Andersen & Schioler 2001, Miller & Conko 2004, Herring 2007, Paarlberg 2008).”
• Resources, Policies, and Agricultural Productivity in Sub-Saharan Africa (2013, background): “Agricultural biotechnology, still largely unexploited in the region, has considerable potential to help address productivity and resource constraints facing African agriculture (Paarlberg, 2008).”
