  • "First published in 1988, Kloppenburg's (agricultural and life sciences, U. of Wisconsin-Madison) text offers a political and economic history of plant breeding and the seed industry, showing how efforts to control the seed have shaped the emergence of the agricultural biotechnology industry. The second edition includes an extensive new, final chapter examining recent developments in the global and increasingly well-organized opposition to the way that private industry has chosen to develop biotechnology, which has materialized not only in advocacy and activist groups but within the public plant science community as well.
