From: A modeling assessment of geneflow in smallholder agriculture in West Africa

Modelling Scenarios | Average GM content in conventional seed harvest | GM fields created as a percentage of total number of fields (including conventional fields) | GM field area estimated as a percentage of total field area (including conventional fields) |
Scenario I: GM planted was obtained under exchange conditions, meaning that the seeds were obtained from other fielders as gifts or exchanged. | 0.87 | 3.02 | 2.27 |
Scenario II: GM planted were obtained the seed market. This directly implies the use of commercial varieties. | 2.61 | 7.70 | 6.02 |
Scenario III: GM planted was obtained from seeds saved from previous harvests. | 1.00 | 4.24 | 2.40 |
Scenario IV: Single GM field introduced at the center of the study area. This suggests the scenario of a single GM field among 1,388 fields | 0.12 | 0.07 | 0.21 |
Scenario V: GM planted obtained from food market. This scenario implies that variety planted was collected from quantities bought for food. | 1.12 | 2.52 | 3.78 |
