Biotechnology is having a profound impact on agricultural research and productivity and developing countries need to organize their national research systems accordingly. The development of a well defined national biotechnology strategy and a plan of activities which clearly delineates priorities for the public sector and private sector is a critical step for the implementation of an effective national programme in biotechnology which makes efficient use of domestic and external resources. The publication reviews the status of biotechnological research in agriculture in a selected group of countries including China India Kenya and Brazil. It will hopefully stimulate wider public debate that will add to the growing body of knowledge in this sometimes controversial area of modern agricultural research. The book will appeal to research workers and policy makers in agricultural biotechnology and development studies. 228 pp. …
