Product Description

Review

“This book...is very timely in informing the key actors. The authors are particularly to be congratulated for putting farmers first in this debate and providing a clear explanation of the several terms and phrases being used by media policy makers and scientists.” —Tewolde Berhan Gebre Egziabher, spokesperson for the “Like Minded Group” in the negotiations of the Cartagena Protocol on Safety in Biotechnology

“[This book] embraces the central contributions of southern farmers to the integrity of our food and the diversity of world agriculture.” —Brian Tokar, editor of Redesigning Life?: The Worldwide Challenge to Genetic Engineering

Book Description

Consumers have taken the lead in rejecting the biotech industry's determination to foist GMOs on an unsuspecting and unconsulted public. This book gives a voice for the first time to farmers. They are the people being pressured by giant corporations to grow genetically engineered crops. What are the possible downsides for them, particularly for those hundreds of millions of farmers living in the developing countries? This important book is a lucid explanation of what is happening.
