Negative sentiment towards their development limits their adoption in Western countries, despite there being no evidence of harm to human health. These unfounded concerns about genetically modified crops have also inhibited uptake in many countries throughout Africa and Asia, having a major impact on agricultural productivity and preventing the widespread cultivation of potentially life-saving crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGM Crops and the Global Divide\u003c\/i\u003e traces the historical importance that European attitudes to past colonial influences, aid, trade, and educational involvement have had on African leaders and their people. The detrimental impact that these attitudes have on agricultural productivity and food security continues to be of growing importance, especially in light of climate change, drought, and the potential rise in sea levels—the effects of which could be mitigated by the cultivation of GM and gene-edited crops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing on from her previous books, \u003ci\u003eGenes for Africa\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSeeds for the Future\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFood for Africa\u003c\/i\u003e, Jennifer Thomson unravels the reasons behind these negative attitudes towards GM crop production. By addressing the detrimental effects that anti-GM opinions have on nutrition security in developing countries and providing a clear account of the science to counter these attitudes, she hopes to highlight and ultimately bridge this global divide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854559269100,"sku":"9781486312658","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/480be126d72679e79794e52ee4cf9583.jpg?v=1759268487"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/jennifer-thomson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
