By the year 2050, Earth's population will double. If we continue with current farming practices, vast amounts of wilderness will be lost, millions of birds and billions of insects will die, and the public will lose billions of dollars as a consequence of environmental degradation. "Tomorrow's Table" argues that a judicious blend of two important strands of agriculture¿genetic engineering and organic farming¿is key to helping feed the world's growing population inan ecologically balanced manner.
