Isbn: 9780743267632 - food, inc.: mendel to monsanto--the promises and perils of the biotech harvest (11 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. For most people the global war over genetically modified foods is a distant and confusing one. A handful of corporate 'life sciences' giants, such as Monsanto, are pitted against a worldwide network of anticorporate ecowarriors like Greenpeace. The companies claim to be leading a new agricultural revolution that will save the world with crops modified to survive frost, drought, pests, and plague.
