From the Back Cover

The opportunities for improving crops and the environment using genetic engineering have aroused much interest but the public have expressed concerns as to whether there are hazards associated with these techniques. A workshop was held at King's College London, UK, within the framework of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) and this book has its origins in that meeting.
