Opis

The story begins as a killer cyclone ravages the vulnerable nation of Bangladesh. More than a million people are dead and twice that number homeless. Rice fields, polluted with salt water devastate the food supply. The people of the region face starvation. So begins the largest population shift in recorded history. Many of them will come to America to start a new life. By the year 2057, extreme weather, caused by climate change, grows more frequent year by year. Super cell tornado and hail bearing storms move through the mid-west destroying millions of acres grain. Twin category five hurricanes hit the east coast, taking out tens of thousands of fruit trees, and crippling poultry and pork farms. While residents travel inland to rebuild their lives, the nation's cities suffer. Population stress and food shortages make life in the cities more difficult. As food becomes harder to grow, the price of food rises. America's families struggle to buy food. Global food security is at risk and people look to leadership for help. A group of unlikely heroes comes together to form the Genesis Project. Each character, from different lifestyles and cultural backgrounds come together to perform the experiment. They will have to act quickly because time is running out. Dr. Jarod Farra is one of those characters. An assistant professor of agriculture at Cornell University, he is driven by his passion to find better ways to grow food. Jarod will help find the answers that make the difference. Together, the team at the Genesis Project will strive to change the world.
