Beskrivelse af Seeds of Occupation, Seeds of Possibility
How Hawai¿i became the epicenter of the biotech seed industry, and how a resistance movement arose to confront the industry's power. Hawai¿i is a primary site for development of herbicide-resistant corn seed and, until recently, was host to more experimental field trials of genetically engineered crops than anywhere else in the world. It is also a node of powerful resistance. While documentaries and popular news stories have profiled the biotech seed industry in Hawai¿i, Seeds of Occupation, Seeds of Possibility is the first book to detail the social and historical conditions by which the chemical-seed oligopoly came to occupy the most geographically isolated islands in the world and made the soils of Hawai¿i the epicenter of agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology testing. Andrea Brower, an activist-scholar from Hawai¿i, examines the consequences related to genetically engineered seed development for Hawai¿i's people and the social movement that has risen in response. With insights beyond the islands, Seeds of Occupation, Seeds of Possibility illuminates why visions for a radically better world must be expanded by intersectional and systemically oriented movements.
