Moral Responsibility and Agricultural Research (1)

Vernon Ruttan

A chapter in Agriculture and International Relations, 1985, pp 66-87 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The productivity of modern agriculture is the result of a remarkable fusion of technology and science (White, 1968; Asimov, 1979). In the West this fusion was built on ideological foundations that, from the early Middle Ages, has valued both the improvement of material well being and the advancement of knowledge.
