Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the mid-1990s, UK newspapers picked up on a controversial issue that had been slowly gathering steam genetically modified organisms. The media soon could talk about little else. Headlines screamed that this technological advance could pose serious health risks, that our food was already GM-rich and yet we didnt even realise. How could this be? Of course there was science and statistics to back up these bold claims or was there?Twenty years on, the dust has settled. Scientists are working hard to devise new farming methods that will meet the worlds food requirements while causing the minimum amount of ecological harm. Were now discovering that the environmentalist mainstream might have misjudged the GM issue completely, and as a consequence we have forfeited two decades worth of scientific progress in perhaps the most vital area of human need: food.No one is more aware of this fact than the author of this book, Mark Lynas. Starting out as one of the leading activists in the fight against GM from destroying experimental crop fields to leading the charge in the press in 2013 Lynas famously admitted that he had got it all wrong. This book tells the story of how and why so many people were confused by genetic engineering. Lynas takes us back to the origins of the technology, and examines the histories of the people and companies who pioneered it. He explains what led him to question his assumptions on GM, and what he is doing now to further research in this field, making a difference in tackling poverty by using science to encourage better harvests.Seeds of Science lifts the lid on the whole controversial GM story, from the perspective of someone who has fought prominently on both sides. It provides an explanation of the research that has enabled this technology something that was sorely missing from the media in the late 90s, which led to countless misconceptions about the field, one that could provide perhaps the only solution to a planet with a population of ten billion people. The inside story of the fight for and against genetic modification in food, from someone who's been on the front line of both sides of the argument.

Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. Reprint. "An important contribution to an issue with enormous potential for benefiting humanity." Stephen PinkerThe inside story of the fight for and against genetic modification in food, from someone who's been on the front line of both sides of the argument.Mark Lynas was one of the original GM field wreckers. Back in the 1990s--working undercover with his colleagues in the environmental movement--he would descend on trial sites of genetically modified crops at night and hack them to pieces. Two decades later, most people around the world--from New York to China--still think that "GMO" foods are bad for their health or likely to damage the environment. But Mark has changed his mind. This book explains why.In 2013, in a world-famous recantation speech, Mark apologized for having destroyed GM crops. He spent the subsequent years touring Africa and Asia, and working with plant scientists who are using this technology to help smallholder farmers in developing countries cope better with pests, diseases and droughts.This book lifts the lid on the anti-GMO craze and shows how science was left by the wayside as a wave of public hysteria swept the world. Mark takes us back to the origins of the technology and introduces the scientific pioneers who invented it. He explains what led him to question his earlier assumptions about GM food, and talks to both sides of this fractious debate to see what still motivates worldwide opposition today. In the process he asks--and answers--the killer question: how did we all get it so wrong on GMOs?. Codice articolo DADAX1472946979
