| description | Given the availability of so many technical solutions, yet the continued problem of undernourishment of thousands of millions of people, this book-DVD package looks at the debate for and against biotechnology. Crucially, it poses the possibility of a ‘third way’ – a tailor-made, pro-poor biotechnology.
The main focus of the book-DVD is on describing the efforts of civil society organisations and research institutions to develop biotechnology that goes beyond today’s agro-industrial system and globalised production model. In doing so, it describes the emergence of new forces in global food chains, particularly those which drive change.
The DVD that accompanies the book illustrates how such change is actually taking place. The four documentaries highlight alternative approaches to biotechnology that have been adopted by community organisations in Cuba, Ecuador, Ghana and India.Given the availability of so many technical solutions, yet the continued problem of undernourishment of thousands of millions of people, this book-DVD package looks at the debate for and against biotechnology.
