GM Crop Trials

Location of GM Crop Trials in Scotland

This is a list of all sites in Scotland where consent has been given to release genetically modified organisms (GMOs) under controlled conditions. This site will also contain details of applications to release GMOs in Scotland where the application is still under consideration by either the Advisory Committee for Releases to the Environment (ACRE) or the Scottish Executive.

The results from the GM crop farm scale evaluation programme have now been published. Click here for further details.

Full details of all applications to release GMOs in the UK are held on the Public Register which is available for inspection at the Joint Regulatory Authority, Room 3/G9, Ashdown House, Victoria Street, London SW1E 6DE. Copies from the Register of applications to release in Scotland are available for inspection at Victoria Quay, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6QQ
