Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Significance of Virus Diseases for Crop Biosecurity in a Developing European Community, Kiev, 4-7 May 2005 |
| Synopsis: |
Without sensationalizing or providing technical details that would result in a terrorist's handbook, this volume reflects concerns expressed by experts from 12 states. The book is exceptional because of its focus on indirect impacts on human health and welfare through challenge to the security of food. These urgently need to be recognised and steps taken to counter the threat. The need for protection is weighed against risks of discouraging biotechnological advance. |
