«Starved for Science» is Robert Paarlberg's essay on agricultural biotechnology in Africa, in hardcover (256 pages, in English).
Robert Paarlberg analyzes why African farmers lack access to biotechnology, such as genetically modified seeds resistant to pests and drought. He argues that rich countries' opposition to agricultural science has prevailed in Africa, even though that technology reduced rural poverty in Asia. The exclusion perpetuates poverty and malnutrition.
Subtitled How Biotechnology Is Being Kept Out of Africa, it was published in 2008 and includes forewords by Norman E. Borlaug and Jimmy Carter.
For readers interested in agricultural and economic policies, development, and biotechnology in Africa.
