German term or phrase: Anbau in der Fläche
"Wirkt zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt die Kauf-entscheidung der Verbraucher im Lebensmittelbereich dem großflächigen Anbau von gentechnisch veränderten Pflanzen (GVP) noch entgegen, so ist mit dem industriellen Einsatz von gentechnisch veränderten nachwachsenden Roh-stoffen ein Anbau in der Fläche nicht auszuschließen."

Seems to me like they are talking about an increase in acres planted with GM seed. Any opinions?

Explanation:
'in der Flaeche' is a variation of 'grossflaechig'. German doesn't like to repeat the same word too often.
