The world's food production is undergoing a rapid and revolutionary
transformation, but little is known about it and less is being done
to question the wisdom of it. Within a very few years, much of what
we eat will have been genetically engineered, without proper
consideration of the issues of public health, consumer choice and
ecological stability. Against the Grain argues that the
consequences of this huge experiment could be catastrophic, and at
the very least have been underestimated or ignored by the
industries exploiting the new technologies. The authors have
unearthed government and industry documents which show these new
methods to be far from fail-safe or risk free. Comprehensively
supported with facts and references, the book provides a full
account of the science and technologies involved in producing
'transgenic plants'. It also explains the scale and speed of what
is going on, and argues for full public accountability and control
of new developments - before it is too late.
