Summary:

Consumers have taken the lead in rejecting the biotech industry's determination to foist GMOs on an unsuspecting and unconsulted public. This book gives a voice for the first time to farmers. They are the people being pressured by giant corporations to grow genetically engineered crops. What are the possible downsides for them, particularly for those hundreds of millions of farmers living in the developing countries? This important book is a lucid explanation of what is happening.
