Gene Traders: Biotechnology, World Trade, And The Globalization Of Hunger - Softcover
Brian Tokar brings us a gold mine of in-depth investigations showing exactly how corporations and global institutions are systematically manipulating governments, farmers and public opinion to gain control over our food supply. Gene Traders provides the detail and insight we need to take part in the global democracy movement to reverse this catastrophe. [Frances Moore Lappe] In this broad and comprehensive survey, seven authors show how the interplay of trade policy, 'development' politics and biotechnology increases dependency and hunger, while compromising the survival of traditional farmers and their communities.
