520	3		_aThis book explores the myths and the reality about GM agriculture and its role in improving food security. The goal of the authors is to use this book to reconfigure the underlying architecture of public consideration of science, technology and commerce in the global food system. An array of characterizations of the space, ranging from Frankenfoods and superweeds to superfoods and miracle plants are explored. Ultimately, the aim is to open the discussion about how we can construct a factual dialogue about complex issues that uses evidence to help make better choices. The book has 12 chapters and a subject index.
