A critical evaluation of the vital nexus between funding, research and agricultural development. The book covers research into biotechnology and genetically modified organisms as well as conventional technologies, and assesses the participatory methods used and how parties' interests are reflected.
Research is never free of pressures and constraints and to understand its results properly these have to be assessed and analyzed. In agriculture, research into biotechnology and GMOs, as well as pesticides and herbicides, is big business - agribusiness. This book looks at the crucial roles of funding and the political context on the research agenda and its results in agricultural development. It provides a critical evaluation of the participatory methods now widely used and explores the ways in which research into biotechnology have reflected the interests of the various parties involved.
