Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Japanese government planners set out in the 1960s to build a barrage on the Nagara River, one of the last major free owing rivers in Japan. Conceived during a period of rapid growth in the Japanese economy, the barrage was part of a national effort to ensure adequate water supplies for future economic development as well as to reduce oodingrisks to downstream communities.

The 1990s witnessed the start of a kind of biotech gold rush toward the use of genetic modi cation (GM) as tool to develop more productive crops through the introduction of herbicide, insect and disease resistance to feed a growing world. Opponents of the rapid deployment of GM crops have raised concerns about the safety of the technology and about its socio-economic, cultural, and ethical implications.
