Description
Despite biotech advances, an alarming number of people in the world go hungry. Kristin Dawkins expects that this number will increase. She discusses the policies that are shaping this future, including those that govern genetic engineering of plants and animals. She also explains how corporate control of the gene pool and globalisation threaten the public interest.
