A decent mix of things you would probably guess and maybe some you wouldn't.

A large amount of discussion on genetically modified plants and animals, but I felt like the book overall jumped around a lot and I wasn't sure exactly what it was coming together to say.

I enjoyed the last section focusing on humanity. I've read some reviews that said the book was dry or overly focused on data, but that wasn't my experience.

I'd probably recommend this if you are a fan of her other books, or interested in the food crisis / GM food.
