Farmer around the world are being pressured by half a dozen giant corporations to grow genetically engineered crops.
What are the possible downsides for them? For their environment, their health, their independence, their traditional expert crops and thier access to the marketpalces of their own countries?
This book, with its dialogue between farmer's representatives and experts, is a clear statement of principles that should guide governments and communities in bringing this profit-motivated deployment of scientific power under democratic control.
'Seeds belong to farmers-the discoverers, selectors and protectors of humanity's agricultural biodiversity for the past eight millennia. The present push by big business to enslave farmers and put both their livelihoods and the very existence of humankind in peril needs to be exposed.'
