Description
Genetically modified crops - are they monsters of nature or could they provide answers to some of our most pressing environmental concerns Internationally respected microbiologist Jennifer Thomson takes us through the issues and concerns surrounding the development of genetically modified crops and their impacts on the environment. She explains how such crops are developed and assessed and discusses the likelihood of negative effects on biodiversity, pollen spread, and organic farming.
