In this study of social protest against genetically engineered food, Abby Kinchy turns the conventional argument on its head. Rather than consider \u003ci\u003epoliticization\u003c\/i\u003e of the regulatory system, she takes a close look at the scientization of public debate about the \"contamination\" of crops resulting from pollen drift and seed mixing. Advocates of alternative agriculture confront the scientization of this debate by calling on international experts, carrying out their own research, questioning regulatory science in court, building alternative markets, and demanding that their governments consider the social and economic impacts of the new technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKinchy focuses on social conflicts over canola in Canada and maize in Mexico, drawing out their linkages to the global food system and international environmental governance. The book ultimately demonstrates the shortcomings of dominant models of scientific risk governance, which marginalize alternative visions of rural livelihoods and sustainable food production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music Entertainment***","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50094742044912,"sku":"0194399664919","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0194399664919","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
