Abstract
The story presented in the foregoing chapters results from an analysis of scientific activity connected to a wide range of activities in agriculture and other domains of society, in short, an analysis of agricultural science. The analysis was restricted to agricultural science as it developed on Dutch territory, including former colonies. The overall focus in the analysis has been on the way agricultural scientists, policy makers and others formulated various ways of organising agricultural science and the links between science and practice. What eventuated was a description of views about, debates over, and attempts to realise the desired organisation, as well as a description of three fields of agricultural-scientific activity.
