An examination of the wide-ranging social and ethical issues surrounding the production and consumption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Topics covered include questions of patenting and labelling and effects of genetic modification on the world's food supply.

Engineering the Farm is a wide-ranging examination of the social and ethical issues surrounding the production and consumption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), with leading thinkers and activists taking a broad theoretical approach to the subject.
