Seeds of Occupation Seeds of Possibility

<b>How Hawai?i became the epicenter of the biotech seed industry and how a resistance movement arose to confront the industry's power.</b> <p/> 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 <i>Seeds of Occupation Seeds of Possibility</i> 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. <p/> 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 <i>Seeds of Occupation Seeds of Possibility</i> illuminates why visions for a radically better world must be expanded by intersectional and systemically oriented movements. <br>
