An invaluable discussion peace for those intrigued with both agricultural science and politics,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Food and Nutrition at Risk in America: Food Insecurity, Biotechnology, Food Safety and Bioterrorism (Paperback)
If there's no food, there's nothing. "Food and Nutrition in America: Food Insecurity, Biotechnology, Food Safety, and Bioterrorism" is an educational book looking to discuss the security of America's food supply in the modern day, with the rising wave of terrorism, new bioengineering, and much more. Chapters discuss in depth topics like America's overall safety when it comes to its food, food-borne illness, regulations, holes in the defense of America's food, and other threats that lie in wait to cause the country trouble with its most valued resource. "Food and Nutrition in America" is an invaluable discussion peace for those intrigued with both agricultural science and politics.
