A highly-illustrated, educational work on the history of cultivated plants, from their appearance on Earth to the latest generation GMO. Targeting all audiences, it guides the reader through a journey retracing the lengthy history of plants and Man, a saga of making headway and facing challenges non-stop. It contributes to a better understanding of the plant world, an essential prerequisite for adapting tomorrow’s agriculture to the climate constraints and meeting the challenges of global food security.

Voici un ouvrage très bien construit avec une évidente et remarquable volonté pédagogique qui amène le lecteur jusqu'aux questions actuelles des modifications génétiques des plantes.
Les illustrations et les encarts complètent le texte principal et l'ensemble est réellement passionnant.
Bravo à l'auteur !
