TLDR
In this paper, the authors performed an attributional life cycle assessment (ALCA) of the global soy chain separately for the GM and non-GM imports, and concluded that there are no significant environmental gains from importing nonGM soy over GM soy.About:

Who pays the costs of non-GMO segregation and identity preservation? /доклад на 10 конгрессе ЕААЕ, Exploring Diversity in the European Agri-Food System, Zaragoza, Spain, 28-31 August 2002
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an analytical framework to examine the market and welfare impacts of GMOs, when some consumers refuse genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and when two supply channels are segregated (one for goods that containing GMOs and one for non-genetically-modified identity-preserved goods).

Marcin Andrzej Kurek,Anna Onopiuk,Ewelina Pogorzelska-Nowicka,Arkadiusz Szpicer,Magdalena Zalewska,Andrzej Półtorak +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the characteristics of several proteins that can be consumed as alternatives to first-generation proteins used in vegan foods and describe the research in which novel protein sources were used in terms of the product they are used for.

TL;DR: The recent 70% decline in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon suggests that it is possible to manage the advance of a vast agricultural frontier Enforcement of laws, interventions in soy and beef supply chains, restrictions on access to credit, and expansion of protected areas appear to have contributed to this decline, as did a decline in the demand for new deforestation as mentioned in this paper.

The role of pasture and soybean in deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the spatial patterns and statistical relationships between deforestation and changes in pasture and soybean areas in the Brazilian Amazon and found evidence for the hypothesis that an increase of soy in Mato Grosso has displaced pasture further north leading to deforestation elsewhere.

Investigating specific concerns about different food hazards
Susan Miles,Lynn J. Frewer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the findings of semi-structured interviews, using the laddering technique, that aimed to identify the concerns held by the public with regard to five specific food hazards (BSE, genetic modification of food, high fat diets, pesticide residues in food and Salmonella food poisoning).

Effect of glyphosate on the microbial activity of two Brazilian soils.
TL;DR: Soil which had been exposed to glyphosate for several years had the strongest response in microbial activity and high pressure liquid chromatography detected the glyphosate metabolites aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA), indicating glyphosate degradation by soil microorganisms.

LCA of soybean meal
Randi Dalgaard,Randi Dalgaard,Jannick Højrup Schmidt,Niels Halberg,Per Christensen,Mikkel Thrane,Walter A. Pengue +6 more
TL;DR: The study clearly shows that consequential LCAs are quite easy to handle, even though it has been necessary to include production of palm oil, rapeseed and spring barley, as these production systems are affected by the soybean oil co-product.
