In the past decade, many have criticized agricultural research in the United States for its socio-economic consequences and its apparent inability to account adequately for them. But little has been said in this vein about agricultural development outside of the United States, particularly in the Third World. Our task is to direct attention to this experience, pointing particularly to the nature of international agricultural research. Agricultural scientists cannot remain steadfastly oblivious to the consequences of research or by assigning responsibility elsewhere. Not recognizing such consequences cannot be justified on the grounds of neutrality and objectivity in science, because the value and political biases of the agricultural research and development are ultimately reflected in social results
