Tailor-made biotechnologies: Possibilities for farmer-centered development

Author

  • Guido Ruivenkamp

Abstract

Each technology—and also biotechnology—relates to and is developed within a certain context. Besides a technical dimension (the techniques) biotechnology also contains asocial dimension, such as the social relations that reflect themselves in the technology-development, and the aims for which the technology is used. The Center for Agriculture and Biotechnology (CAB), the research department of the Western Farming and Horticultural Organization, is attempting to relate the socio-economic contents of biotechnological developments more to the interests of farmers and sustainable farming styles.
