- Summary:
- Biotechnology and the Politics of Plants explores the mysterious phenomenon of apomixis, the ability of certain plants to self-clone, and its potential as a revolutionary tool for agriculture and enhancing food security, that may soon be a reality. Through historical anthropological and ethnographic study, Matt Hodges traces the development of the CIMMYT Apomixis Project, a prominent frontier research initiative, and its reinvention as a leading public-private partnership.
