Traditional technology cannot help in producing adequate food to feed the Nigerian people. So it is necessary to develop science and technology. There is some effort to make to not only adapt foreign technologies, but develop indigenous technology
The basic components of current technological innovation seeds, inputs, and credits failed to encourage the growth of domestic agro-industries. They brought the country to self-sufficiency in rice but created a new dependance on the foreign capital
Green Revolution technologies reconsidered. Another view. The Ethiopian example
Agriculture ; Changement social ; Développement régional ; Ethiopie ; Géographie de l'Afrique ; Politique agricole ; Révolution agricole ; Technologie
The societal modes of distribution are important components of the institutional setting in every society. On the basis of an example from Ethiopia, the socio-political effects induced by the technologies applied during the Green Revolution
will be analysed. This will provide an insight for reassessing modern agricultural technologies in different societies. - (L'A.).

Reasons for non-adoption of soil conservation technologies and how to overcome them
Agriculture ; Amérique centrale ; Comportement des agriculteurs ; Conservation des sols ; Développement durable ; Motivation ; Productivité agricole ; Technique agricole
Paper focuses on reasons for the non-adoption, at least over the long run, of soil conservation technologies by local farmers. Governments are criticized for promoting expensive structures aimed at soil retention rather than at vegetative cover
. Long-term adoption depends on building community capabilities that permit farmers to experiment and innovate. The results of COSECHA's field studies on farmer productivity and technological adoption are discussed. - (SLD)
