Why do modern agricultural techniques, which are environmentally
damaging, continue to be used? This book seeks the answer to that
question, by looking at the evolution of agricultural research in
its cultural context. The theoretical framework is supported by
historical case studies concerning hybrid maize in the United
States, and the Green Revolution in Mexico. A chapter is also
devoted to biotechnology, and its implications for the disturbing
trend towards genetic uniformity.
