Synopsis
Food safety scares resulting from modern agricultural methods, such as BSE in beef or salmonella in eggs, continue to cause deep public concern. But the biggest changes affecting the food we eat are the result of genetic engineering. This guide describes the techniques used to genetically modify crops and livestock. It explores the food industry's commercial motivations and examines the potential ecological and health risks involved, the ethical issues, and the likely impact on developing countries. The author argues that the promises held out by genetic engineering, of ending world hunger and making possible a more eco-friendly agriculture, are far from being fulfilled. Never before has science been likely to have such an impact on our lives. After all, we are what we eat.
