In particular, in what ways are these corporations changing their R & D and business practices in order to develop new environmentally oriented products, services and methods of production? And what can they change of their own volition, and where is external direction a necessary condition of environmentally friendly innovation? These questions are explored through a series of highly original investigations of particular biotech and other agribusiness companies--including Monsanto, Ciba Geigy, Dole, and Chiquita--and their behavior in particular parts of the world, including California, Europe, Australia, Brazil, and Central America.Agribusiness & societyAgricultural industriesEnvironmental aspectsGreen productsSocial responsibility of businessDevelopment studiesbicsscAgricultural industriesEnvironmental aspects.Green products.Social responsibility of business.Development studies338.1630.68Jansen Kees1961-Vellema Sietze1964-NCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910222223903321Agribusiness and society3006775UNINA
