Bountiful Harvest

Bountiful Harvest

"Bountiful Harvest" is a book by University of Houston economics professor Thomas R. DeGregori, debunking what he calls "anti-science environmental activists", and arguing for the employment modern agricultural innovations such as bioengineered foods, which he claims have increased life expectancy and crop yields, and generally improved human well-being.

The "AgBiotech Reporter" called DeGregori's book "an ideal handbook for anyone who wants to understand the opponents of progress." [http://www.cato.org/cgi-bin/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=bountifulharvest.html&cart_id=]
