Synopsis of Starved for Science: How Biotechnology Is Being Kept Out of Africa
En 'Starved for Science', Robert Paarlberg analiza las razones por las cuales los agricultores africanos han sido privados del acceso a tecnologías agrícolas modernas, especialmente a semillas genéticamente modificadas resistentes a plagas y sequías. El autor argumenta que la oposición a la biotecnología en los países desarrollados ha influido negativamente en las políticas agrícolas de África, impidiendo que el continente aproveche los avances científicos que fueron fundamentales para reducir la pobreza rural en Asia. Esta obra invita a un debate necesario sobre cómo las posturas culturales de las sociedades opulentas se exportan, a menudo de manera inapropiada, a regiones en desarrollo. Paarlberg sostiene que, al negar a los agricultores africanos el acceso a estas herramientas, se les condena a mantener niveles de pobreza y desnutrición que podrían evitarse mediante la adopción de la ciencia agrícola moderna.
