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. 606 $aAgriculture$xResearch 606 $aAgriculture$xResearch$zGreat Britain 615 0$aAgriculture$xResearch. 615 0$aAgriculture$xResearch 676 $a630.2 676 $a630.72 701 $aBuhler$b William$f1964-$01656592 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810926203321 996 $aScience, Agriculture and Research$94009576 997 $aUNINA
