A wonderful story is woven of science, discovery and anecdote, with Australian directness and humour. Godwin explains and entertains. Information is drawn from many quarters from biologists, farmers, nutritionists and activists and from Godwin's direct experiences over 30 years. .--Dr Matthew Paul, Rothamsted Research UK "The Journal of the Institute of Food Science & Technology"<br><br><p>In this book, Professor Godwin provides the reader with a very comprehensive, multidisciplinary and easy to read assessment of how science can help assuring sufficient safe food for future generations. The book is an island of solid evidence in a sea of mis-information spread by certain advocacy groups with agendas other than assuring sustainable food security for all. It is a must-read for anybody interested in the future food situation</p>--Professor Per Pinstrup-Andersen, Cornell University<br><br>This book is easy reading and highly commendable, providing very useful information in a simple style; 'greenish' people should read it!--Jose I. Cubero; The Journal of Agricultural Science<br><br><p>Ian Godwin has done that rare thing - written a book about science which is informal but informed, readable but authoritative, and sparkling with wit. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in the GM foods and crops issue.</p>--Mark Lynas, Journalist and author of Seeds of Science: Why We Got It So Wrong on GMOs<br>
