The Gene Revolution: GM Crops and Unequal Development is a 2006 book by Professor Sakiko Fukuda-Parr. While some people do not support genetic manipulation (GM), others view it as an important technological solution to limited agricultural output, increasing populations, and climate change. The book provides a detailed analysis of debate about GM adoption in developing countries, which are dealing with poverty and trying to better compete in the global economy.[1] [2] [3] [4] Per the introduction, the book focuses on five countries' use of GM technology, Argentina, Brazil, China, India, and South Africa.[5]
The Gene Revolution refers to a phase following the Green Revolution during which agricultural biotechnology was heavily implemented.
