Food Shortage Dystopias

What if the only food available came from a single source of climate-resistant seeds?  That's the question asked in Rob Ziegler's new dystopian novel Seed.  In 22nd-century America, a hyper-intelliigent living city named Satori controls the production of this sole food source, at least until Secret Service agent Sienna Doss is tasked with finding a rogue seed designer, an assignment that she sees as an opportunity to take down Satori.  Enjoy worst-case scenarios involving genetic engineering and a fragile food supply?  You might also like Paolo Bacigalupi's The Windup Girl, in which an AgriGen agent is sent to Thailand to investigate rumors of black market fruits not created or controlled by the calorie companies.
