Handbook on Agriculture, Biotechnology and Development is a compendium of knowledge, experience and insight on agriculture, biotechnology and development. Beginning with an account of GM crop adoptions and attitudes towards them, Handbook on Agriculture, Biotechnology and Development assesses numerous crucial processes, concluding with detailed insights into GM products. Drawing on expert perspectives of leading authors from 48 different institutions in 18 countries, it provides a unique, global overview of ag-biotech following 20 years of adoption.
Many consider GM crops the most rapid agricultural innovation adopted in the history of agriculture. Handbook on Agriculture, Biotechnology and Development provides insights as to why the adoption has occurred globally at such a rapid rate. This is a rich and varied collection of research, which will appeal to scholars, academics and practitioners worldwide. An invaluable resource, Handbook on Agriculture, Biotechnology and Development will be a first point of reference to anyone with an interest in ag-biotech and studies into agriculture, biotechnology and development.
