Chapter 2 in Technological Change in Agriculture, 2000, pp 41-73 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Chapter 1 sought to show how the technological transformation of agriculture has persistently narrowed the genetic base on which agriculture rests. The question arises as to whether a theory can be formulated which attempts to account not just for the occurrence of change, but also the direction which change follows. Such a theory must appreciate that a variety of different solutions may be more or less appropriate for solving any given solution. It must therefore concern itself not just with the changes that actually occur, but with why alternatives do not occur.
