(Chapter 5).  The third part covers sustainable and secure food production specifically addressing genetically modified traits in Chapter 6 (James McWilliams) and omega-3 fatty acids in Chapter 7 (Jay Whelan et al.).  Agronomic implications relative to food security and sustainable agriculture are described in Part IV.  Authors include Ravi Sripada, Pradip Das et al. (Chapter 8), Duska Stojsin, Kevin Matson and Richard Leitz (Chapter 9) and S.H. Lee, David Clay and Sharon Clay (Chapter 10).  International sustainable agriculture and food security is addressed in Part V with authors Jeff Vitale and John Greenplate (Chapter 11), Julie Borlaug et al. (Chapter 12) and Sylvester Oikeh et al. (Chapter 13).  The final part covers the use of chemicals in sustainable agriculture and food/energy security with Leonard Gianessi and Ashley Williams communicating the role of herbicides and Harold Reetz emphasizing the importance of fertilizers both in maximizing crop yields to maintain a sustainable secure source for food production. 410 0$aBiotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry,$x2512-3696 ;$v67 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant biotechnology 606 $aAgriculture?Economic aspects 606 $aFood science 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aPlant Biotechnology 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aFood Science 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aPlant biotechnology. 615 0$aAgriculture?Economic aspects. 615 0$aFood science. 615 14$aAgriculture. 615 24$aPlant Biotechnology. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aFood Science. 676 $a338.1 676 $a570 676 $a630 676 $a631.52 676 $a641.3 676 $a660.6 676 $a664 702 $aSongstad$b David D$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aHatfield$b Jerry L$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aTomes$b D.
