"Agriculture of any type has an impact on the environment. Genetic engineering may accelerate the damaging effects of agriculture, have the same impact as conventional agriculture or contribute to more sustainable practices.

This book is designed to acquaint readers with the modern agricultural biotechnology, forestry and products at the global level." (jacket)
