Dr. Calestous Juma, Harvard University Farmers have benefited from advances in agricultural technology for centuries, but the latest innovation, transgenic modification of crops has generated considerable controversy. It is less clear, however, what choices developing countries will make toward the new technology. He will explain the differences among the four countries in these policy areas, and will offer lessons for other developing countries grappling with these controversial issues. Prof. Paarlberg is a professor of political science at Wellesley College and an associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University. Dr. Juma is with the Center for International Development, Kennedy School of Government, at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
