Genetically Modified Crops Assessing Safety

Biotechnology has a significant impact on both medicine and agriculture. The safety of new products is of paramount importance. New safety evaluation strategies are now employed to ensure that the consumer is adequately protected. This book describes those strategies and addresses some of the key advances that have been made in agrochemical biotechnology. Genetically Modified Crops: Assessing Safety covers biotechnology's uses in agriculture, regulations on novel foods, and numerous case studies in safety evaluation. This volume, a useful reference for those working in the field, will have a strong impact on the current debate over genetically-modified foods.Atherton, Keith T. is the author of 'Genetically Modified Crops Assessing Safety' with ISBN 9780748409136 and ISBN 0748409130.
