| Description |
It is widely accepted that investments in science, technology and innovation are essential for economic development. The rapid changes that are taking place due to advances in biotechnology and information and communication technologies (ICTs) support this view. Although new scientific discoveries and technologies could provide countries with a competitive advantage and address some major problems (such as improved varieties of plants resistant to pests and diseases), their adoption is frequently not without controversy due to differing viewpoints and perceptions of the potential risks involved. This edition of the dossier addresses the issue of biotechnology. Subsequent editions will deal with ´Building indigenous innovation systems´ and technical issues such as ´Advances in sugar production and processing´. Visitors who wish to engage in discussions on these and other issues raised here aIt is widely accepted that investments in science, technology and innovation are essential for economic development.
