{"product_id":"9780851987705","title":"Appropriate Biotechnology in Small-Scale Agriculture : How to Reorient Research and Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs currently practiced, agricultural biotechnology is largely oriented to the needs and economies of the developed world. To be of benefit to small-scale farmers in developing countries, technologies need to be appropriate, both taking into account the prevailing conditions and making the best use of local resources.\u003cbr\u003e This book addresses a number of issues related to these problems. In particular it examines the concern that projects undertaken in research facilities far distant from the farmer may have little impact on small-scale agriculture in developing countries, and if so, how project proposals should be assessed to remedy this situation. A second key theme of the book is to consider how information exchange can be enhanced in order to give higher priority to small-scale agriculture in biotechnology research policies. The book should therefore be of immediate concern to policy-makers in government, donor organizations, non-governmental organizations, industry and research organizations concerned with biotechnology in the Third World.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CAB International North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008541507824,"sku":"9780851987705","price":57.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780851987705","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
