Policy Issues in Genetically Modified Crops: A Global Perspective

Policy Issues in Genetically Modified Crops: A Global Perspective contains both theoretical and empirical evidence of a broad range of aspects of GM crop policies throughout the world. Emphasizing world agriculture production and ethics of GM crops, the book balances insights into the various discussions around the use of GM crops, including soil health, effects on animals, environmental sustainability impact and ethical issues. This book will be useful for researchers in agricultural policy and economics, agricultural biotechnology, soil science, genetic engineering, ethics, environmental management, sustainable development and NGOs.

Discusses ethics, varieties, research trends, and success stories of genetic modificationIncludes both crop production and human health impactsCompares and contrasts GM policies from around the world
