Description

Exploiting the general public’s growing concerns about the ecological and climate crisis, some corporations are proposing "quick fixes" that threaten to wreak havoc on our planet. This book exposes how a biomass economy, based on using gene technologies to reprogram living organisms, will devastate our ecosystems as well as the human populations of the southern hemisphere by accelerating the wave of land grabs already common in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Well-researched and groundbreaking, this analysis explores a number of interrelated topics vis-à-vis the uses of bio- and nano-technologies.
