Main description:

reviews a wide-range of genetically modified (GM) crops, to understand how they are produced, the impacts on the agricultural industry, and the potential for improving food security.
examines how food security can be achieved through GM crops.
provides an important synthesis of GM crops from their commercial value to the agricultural industry, as well as their potential for improving food security.
will be of great interest to students and scholars of agricultural engineering, crop science, food biotechology, food security and those interested in food and agriculture and sustainable development more broadly.
