In the U.S. alone, adoption rates for transgenic cotton, corn, and soybeans are between 70-90%. Across the globe, 14 million farmers grow GE crops in more than twenty countries. Yet many countries are discussing and debating the use and adoption of GE technology because of concerns about their impact on the environment and human health. Now, in this comprehensive handbook, a team of international experts present the scientific basis for GE crops, 606 $aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xSafety measures 606 $aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xGovernment policy 615 0$aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xSafety measures. 615 0$aCrops$xGenetic engineering$xGovernment policy. 676 $a631.5/233 701 $aGrumet$b Rebecca$01602106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822707403321 996 $aEnvironmental safety of genetically engineered crops$93925960 997 $aUNINA
