Despite their potential benefits, public hostility toward these crops is causing dramatic changes to import/export policies, food safety regulations, and agricultural practices around the world. Genetically Modified Organisms in Agriculture provides a comprehensive overview of the subject and a balanced look at the costs and benefits of GMO products.Part I reviews the scientific, economic, and political issues relating to the use of agricultural GMFoodBiotechnologyEconomic aspectsGenetically modified foodsEconomic aspectsFood supplyGovernment policyElectronic books.FoodBiotechnologyEconomic aspects.Genetically modified foodsEconomic aspects.Food supplyGovernment policy.338.1/6 21338.16631.5233Nelson Gerald C286187MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458068303321Genetically modified organisms in agriculture2490139UNINA
