Biotenologias feitas sob medida: possibilidades para desenvolvimentos centrados nos fazendeiros

Resumo

Each technology — and also biotechology — relates to and is developed within
a certain context. Besides a technical dimension (the techniques) biotechnology also
contains a social dimension, such as the social relations which reflet themselves in
the techology - development, and the aims for which the technology is used.
The Centre of Agriculture and Biotechnology (CAB),the research department
of the Western Farming and Horticultural Organisation, is aiming at relating the
socio-economic contents of biotechnological developments more to the interess of
farmersand sustainable farming styles.
