Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 60
-- Discusses how the new technologies dominating agricultural research and production narrow the planet's gene poolInternational diplomats hold the fate of the world's food supply in their hands. The policies that they develop will favor either high-tech agribusiness or local food systems relying on improvements in traditional technologies. According to author Kristin Dawkins, the latter option respects human and community rights, but free trade advocates are promoting a high-tech, monocultural approach to food production. Dawkins maintains that within a few decades, this global system of food production is likely to collapse. In the meantime, patents on plant cells and other living material restrict people's access to advances essential to increased farm production. Dawkins describes how consumers are joining farmers to preserve sustainable food security.
