Global lessons from GM crops

Herausgeber: Macnaghten, Phil; Carro-Ripalda, Susana

Beschreibung

Informed by rich, ethnographic research with farmers, scientists and publics in three global rising power settings - Brazil, India and Mexico - this book provides a fresh understanding on how GM crops are being experienced in different locales, on why the controversy has taken varied forms internationally and by what pathways to move towards more sustainable agricultural technologies. It offers a new pathway to governing GM crops informed by recent debates on responsible innovation, agricultural sustainability and social justice.
