Emphasizing world agriculture production and ethics of GM crops, the book balances insights into various discussions around the use of GM crops, including soil health, effects on animals, environmental sustainability impact, and ethical issues. Modern agriculture is directly and explicitly characterized by the adoption of new technologies, their developmental processes and emerging scientific approaches.

This book will be useful for researchers in agricultural policy and economics, agricultural biotechnology, soil science, genetic engineering, ethics, environmental management, sustainable development and NGOs.



- Discusses ethics, varieties, research trends and success stories of genetic modification
- Includes both crop production and human health impacts
- Compares and contrasts GM policies from around the world
