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.AgricultureResearchAgricultureResearchGreat BritainAgricultureResearch.AgricultureResearch630.2630.72Buhler William1964-1656592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810926203321Science, Agriculture and Research4009576UNINA
