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. 517 1 $aAgribusiness & society 606 $aAgricultural industries$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aGreen products 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 615 0$aAgricultural industries$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aGreen products. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 676 $a338.1 701 $aJansen$b Kees$f1961-$01764493 701 $aVellema$b Sietze$f1964-$01690026 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910222223903321 996 $aAgribusiness and society$94205240 997 $aUNINA
