Abstract
When debates regarding the environmental consequences of agricultural biotechnology have addressed potential benefits, the discussions have largely concentrated on general issues, such as whether agricultural biotechnology will result in less pesticide use and whether agricultural biotechnology will protect a larger area of wildlife habitat from conversion to agricultural uses than other agronomic methods. This Article proposes to go beyond the general issues that characterize the present debate about the environmental risks and benefits of agricultural biotechnology. It identifies
