Tools for indigenous agricultural development in Latin America: An anthropologist's perspective

Agriculture and Human Values, 1991, vol. 8, issue 1, 85-92

Abstract: The project of indigenous agricultural development is now widely perceived as valid, given the technological limitations of and the social problems exacerbated by the Green Revolution. Different authors have presented critiques of the Green Revolution based upon their studies of indigenous agricultural practices and their attendant knowledge systems. Such analyses provide important foundations for the promotion of indigenous agricultural development, but do not adequately address the socio-historical dimension. In Latin America, promoting such development must rely upon the reassessment of indigenous culture and ethnic survival by the scientific community. Copyright Kluwer Academic Publishers 1991
