Summary:
"On the surface, it seems that genetically modified (GM) foods are a reasonable defense against world hunger and malnutrition. They may offer solutions to other global problems as well. But critics argue that GM foods are unsafe and potentially hazardous to human health. They also claim that the engineering of GM foods harms the environment. So what is the truth? The curated essays in this volume present viewpoints from different sides of the debates surrounding GMs and a shrinking food supply"-- Provided by publisher.
