A new publication co-writtened by Andrew Flachs and Steve Hallett called GM Crops and the Jevons Paradox: Induced Innovation, Systemic Effects and Net Pesticide Increases From Pesticide-Decreasing Crops has been published in the Journal of Agrarian Change. The paper looks at global herbicide data and at Bt cotton in India to describe an irony: in lowering the costs for pesticide applications at the farm level, GM crops lead farmers to increase their overall consumption of those pesticides. At a deeper level, this overall increase in pesticide use sustains the larger system of chemical-intensive monoculture.
