Genetically Modified Crops and Agricultural Development

---

“This book is the second publication in the ‘Palgrave Studies in Agricultural Economics and Food Policy’ series, and targets both professional and lay audiences. … this book can be recommended to a wide readership; excellently written, it is one of the first books to address both the technical and policy dimensions of GMCs in development.” (George H. L. Rothschild, Food Security, Vol. 8, 2016)

"This important and well-written book builds on Qaim's cutting-edge research on the impacts of GM crops. It clearly debunks some of the most popular arguments against GMOs and presents convincing evidence that GM crops have already made major contributions to improving people's lives. This is essential reading for economists and social scientists working on agricultural technology issues, as well as for plant scientists interested in the societal implications of their work." - David Zilberman, Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics, University of California, Berkeley, USA

"In his 20 years of research on this topic, Qaim has shown convincingly that GM crops can benefit poor societies in developing countries. It is most frustrating that such evidence is too often ignored or denied in the ideological public debate about the use of GMOs and their regulation. Reading this remarkable book will hopefully contribute to a more rational and science-based discourse in the future." - Ingo Potrykus, Professor of Plant Sciences, Emeritus, ETH Zurich, Switzerland; co-inventor of Golden Rice
"This path-breaking book combines intellectual courage and analytical rigor. It brings balanced research and sobriety to one of the most controversial technological developments of the early twenty-first century." - Calestous Juma, Professor of the Practice of International Development, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, USA; author of The New Harvest
