Educators, professionals, and practitioners representing a wide range of disciplines, including plant biotechnology, environmental health risk assessment, law, food safety assessment, and bio safety, address the uncertainties of the science, biological risks, national and international governance issues in North and South America, Europe, and Africa, and the need for full public understanding of genetically engineered crops. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProper regulation of food requires a broad understanding of the science and of varying public perceptions of the technology that will lead to effective governance. Genetically Engineered Crops examines ecological, health, and environmental concerns about crop genetic engineering, the need for precaution, biosafety, and liability, and the challenges faced in meeting the public's demands for proper understanding of the risks involved. With no worldwide framework for regulation in place and public concern about food safety growing, this vital book takes a closer look at the long-term impact of GE crops and their place in the future of agriculture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGenetically Engineered Crops examines: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the laboratory hazards of gene splicing\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e environmental releases of GEOs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the loss of agrobiodiversity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the ecological effects of HRCs\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e ecological and environmental risk assessment of GE crops\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e human health implications of GE foods\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e allergenicity and toxicity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e the precautionary principle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e international trade and regulatory harm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e \"smart regulations\" in Canada\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e shortcomings in risk assessment\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e liability and compensation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e and much more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eGenetically Engineered Crops is a vital reference resource for anyone working in the plant and crop sciences, the social sciences, national and international bioregulation, environmental law, and agribusiness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Iain Taylor\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1560229888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560229889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 426\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.77h x 6.26w x 1.25d","brand":"Iain Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48623265415423,"sku":"9781560229889","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce0d514d-7b7d-405c-9f3d-35c5eab811d7.jpg?v=1780431850","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/genetically-engineered-crops-iain-taylor-9781560229889","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
