The gene revolution and global food securitybiotechnology innovation in latecomers /[electronic resource] :Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka, Padmashree Gehl Sampath. - Basingstoke, UK ;Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xvii, 237 p. :ill.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 217-224) and index.

Agricultural biotechnology innovation capacity and economic development -- Sectoral systems for agricultural biotechnology -- Malaysia biotechnology : a fast follower -- Vietnam biotechnology :building local capacity -- Nigeria as a very late follower in agricultural biotechnology -- Kenya'sincipient innovation capacity in biotechnology -- Comparative analysis of innovation capacity in latecomer countries -- Policy insights and recommendations.

This book, a product of original national-level primary data collection in selected Asian andAfrican countries, raises important issues ofcontemporary concern to innovation in agricultural biotechnology within a framework that links the literature on science, technology and innovation to development. Relying on sound theoretical as well as empirical arguments, the book proposes ways in which traditional technologies should be complemented with new technologies of biotechnology in resolving the food crisis and urban poverty. It situates the solution to the extant food crisis within the broader agenda of innovation and poverty reduction as different from simply doing more research and development (R&D). To this end the book provides a more nuanced understanding of thenexus of scienceand economic development using the Green and Gene Revolutions as conceptual exemplars. This book isa valuable addition to both the innovation as well as the development economic literature and should be read by all those interested in solving the twin problems of economic development and poverty.
