"Genetically Modified Crops: A Practical Guide" addresses the rapid technological advancements in agriculture, focusing on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). We explore the complex issues of intellectual property rights, consumer preferences, and the broader social movements surrounding local foods, organic agriculture, and fair trade. Agriculture's linkage to energy policy through biofuel production is also examined.
Genetic transformation, where genes are transferred between organisms to enhance agronomic traits, is a key technology. However, concerns about GM crops' ecological impact persist. Public education on the importance of GM crops for food and nutritional security is essential.
Our book covers new technologies in genetic transformation, various types of GM crops, and their associated risks, benefits, and concerns. We detail the role of GM crops in economic and social contexts, including gene transfer methods, the beneficial effects of these transfers, and agronomic improvements over wild plants.
This book is a valuable resource for agricultural and horticultural scientists, experts, policymakers, and NGOs. It provides comprehensive insights into GM crops and their potential to improve agriculture and farmers' lives.
