"Laporan Nuffield menunjukkan bahwa ada keharusan moral untuk investasi dalam penelitian tanaman transgenik di negara-negara berkembang. Namun imperatif moral justru sebaliknya. Kebijakan menarik dana dari penelitian pertanian berkelanjutan berbiaya rendah, ke arah teknologi tinggi, eksklusif, mahal dan tidak aman itu sendiri secara etis dipertanyakan. Ada argumen moral yang kuat bahwa pendanaan teknologi PUG di bidang pertanian merusak keberlanjutan pertanian jangka panjang di negara berkembang."

The Nuffield report suggests that there is a moral imperative for investment into GM crop research in developing countries. But the moral imperative is in fact the opposite. The policy of drawing of funds away from low-cost sustainable agriculture research, towards hi-tech, exclusive, expensive and unsafe technology is itself ethically questionable. There is a strong moral argument that the funding of GM technology in agriculture is harming the long-term sustainability of agriculture in the developing world.
