Reviews
“These Contributions by internationally recognized agriculture experts on the future prospects of biotechnology emphasize the many challenges in the next half-century: climate, energy, food, land degradation, and loss of biodiversity—all exacerbated by population increases demanding dramatic improvements in food security, particularly in the developing world and semi-arid tropics. … Summing Up: Recommended. All levels of students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners.” (W. Loescher, Choice, Vol. 52 (8), April, 2015)
