- Summary:
- Investigates the loss of genetic flexibility of plants as they are engineered for mass production, and the loss of genetic diversity through destruction and replacement of local species. Emphasizes the increasing agricultural dependence on petrochemicals and the trend toward use of chemicals instead of finding and breeding plants with resistance to weeds, diseases, and insects.
