Description: The remarkable story of the farmer-led coalition that defeated the introduction of GM wheat in Canada.

Brief description: Emily Eaton is an associate professor of geography at the University of Regina specializing in political economy and natural resource economies. She is also active in a variety of social justice struggles.

Review Quotes: Farmers' resistance to the market-based solutions offered by GM wheat advocates represents a unique experience, but Growing Resistance contains lessons that are applicable to other crops and the global anti-GM movement. Future struggles can learn from the way in which organizations with differing and even opposing points of view can work together and find common ground to protect a shared interest.--Wesley Tourangeau "Alternatives Journal"
