Như đã thảo luận trong Chính trị môi trường, phần lớn các vận động cho lợi ích kinh doanh được thực hiện bởi cơ sở và nghĩ rằng xe tăng hỗ trợ các nguyên tắc thị trường tự do và chính phủ hạn chế. Lợi ích kinh doanh, một lần nữa như đề nghị, đã phải cẩn thận như bảo vệ môi trường đã đạt được phổ biến ngày càng tăng. Các đối số thú vị và hấp dẫn cho hầu hết các quy định hạn liên quan đến thực phẩm bioengineered, cũng như với các vấn đề khác, đã. | Section VI Business Documents 2002 by CRC Press LLC 232 Environmental Politics Casebook Genetically Modified Foods As discussed in Environmental Politics much of the advocacy for business interests is conducted by foundations and think tanks who support free-market principles and limited government.
