| Abstract
|
:
|
In 'Soybeans and Power, ' Pablo Lapegna investigates the ways in which rural populations cope with GM soybean expansion in Argentina, a major player in the use and export of GM crops. Based on over a decade of ethnographic research, Lapegna reveals the reasons why many local communities initially resisted, yet ultimately accepted GM crops.
