Whether or not to embrace GM technologies is a fundamental and
politically charged question facing humanity in the 21st century,
particularly in light of rapidly growing populations and the
unknown future impacts of climate change.The Gene Revolution is the
first book to bridge the gap between the naysayers and cheerleaders
and look at the issues and complexities facing developing and
transitional countries over decisions about GM in light of the
reality of what is happening on the ground. The first part of the
volume looks at the rise of GM crops, commercialization and spread
of the technology and the different positions of the USA and the
European Union on the GM questionand the effect of global markets.
The second part consists of country perspectives from Argentina,
Brazil, China, India and South Africa, which provide insight into
the profound challenges these countries face and the hard choices
that have to be made. The final part takes the analysis a step
further by comparing developing and transitional country
experiences, and charts a future course for government policy on GM
that supports growth, sustainability andequity for the many
billions of people affected worldwide.
