Abstract
In the present transcribed, edited and annotated talk, crop scientist Jaime-E. García-González discusses the traditional agriculture of Costa Rica’s rural, nonindigenous population. The competing world views of farmers, government, corporations, old-school academia, and new-generation academia are critically contrasted in the context of organic agriculture. His worries go hand in hand with the world’s preoccupations for the next generation, as food production and consumption patterns are likely to change drastically.
J.-E. García-González is the author of the original talk. M. Ortega-Rodríguez and H. Solís-Sánchez were responsible for transcribing, translating, editing and annotating the talk, including the vignettes; their comments appear within square brackets.
