The genetic engineering of agricultural crops is seen as both
promising and controversial, with potentially significant
implications for the United States and other countries' food
security and economic well-being, the environment, and
international relations and trade. Proponents cite the potential
for enhanced crop yields; more environmentally friendly food
production; more nutritious foods; and the increased use of plants
to inexpensively produce pharmaceutical compounds, such as human or
veterinary drugs, or industrial compounds, such as substances used
in paper production or detergent manufacturing. This book examines
genetically engineered crops ten years after the first generation
of major crops became commercially available and explores issues
relating to their economic and environmental impacts as well as
consumer acceptance.
