New book announcement

Fighting for the Future of Food: Activists versus Agribusiness in the
Struggle over Biotechnology
by Rachel Schurman and William A. Munro

How activists changed the trajectory of the new agricultural biotechnologies

"Take(s) a fresh and carefully balanced look at the social movement
spawned by this technology. Anyone who wants to understand why groups
across the globe oppose genetically modified foods will find this book
revelatory."
-Marion Nestle, author of Food Politics and Safe Food

"Provides a new and compelling account of the contemporary struggles
over agricultural biotechnology. This superb depiction of the cultural
and social lifeworlds of both the agro-industries and of the
activists, simultaneously reveals the hubris and market ambition of
agro-genetic engineering and of the formation of an oppositional
ideology. A brave and unflinching account of the world of contemporary
agribusiness and its opponents."
-Michael Watts, University of California, Berkeley
