Providing a critical evaluation of the management strategies
involved in ecologically-based pest management, this book presents
a balanced overview of environmentally safe and ecologically sound
approaches. Topics covered include biological control with fungi
and viruses, conservation of natural predators, use of botanicals
and how effective pest management can help promote food security.
In the broader context of agriculture, sustainability and
environmental protection, the book provides a multidisciplinary and
multinational perspective on integrated pest management useful to
researchers in entomology, crop protection, environmental sciences
and pest management.

The evolution of genome’s modification by genetic engineering was
characterized by a major technological breakthrough with the
discovery of CRISPR in 2012. A distinction is now made between
first-generation biotechnologies developed in the 20th century and
current second-generation biotechnologies, NGT or New Genomic
Techniques, including genome editing. How do we consider these
genomic modifications compared to those that occur spontaneously in
nature? What are the applications of these techniques in the fields
of plants, animals, and human health? What prospects in terms of
development and independence for countries and at least what
regulations are in force on the different continents? The book
questions what GMOs are, genome editing products and the place of
genomic transformations today and tomorrow in our societies. It
tries to give some geostrategic and regulatory benchmarks on
biotech products in order to better understand the current issues.
