Download or read book Resistance Is Fertile written by Wilhelm Peekhaus and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2013-03-13 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, government, industry, and the mainstream media have extolled the virtues of biotechnology, downplaying its negative side effects and claiming that it can improve everything from our health and diet to our environment and economy. Focusing on agricultural biotechnology, Resistance Is Fertile challenges this dominant rhetoric by offering a critical analysis of the role of capital and the state in the development of this technoscience. Wilhelm Peekhaus analyzes the major issues around which opponents of agricultural biotechnology in Canada are mobilizing resistance – namely, the enclosure of the biological commons and the knowledge commons, which together form the BioCommons. What emerges is an empirically and theoretically informed analysis of topics such as Canada’s regulatory regime, the corporate control of seeds, the intellectual property system, and attempts to construct and control public discussions about agricultural biotechnology.

Book excerpt: "The Government of Canada is committed to achieving economic growth through innovation. To do so, it must work with other sectors of the economy and other institutions to build a knowledge-based society that will enhance Canada's national system of innovation. Science and technology are integral to this process. In February 1994, the Government of Canada launched a sweeping examination of the challenges facing science and technology in Canada and the opportunities for federal action. Based on extensive public consultations and valuable input from other sources, this review produced the federal science and technology strategy, Science and Technology for the New Century, which sets out new directions for S&T in Canada. This document is the response of the Industry Portfolio to that strategy. It represents a new, strategic, managed approach to portfolio co-ordination and co-operation, based on a shared vision and guided by common goals and principles"--Goals, page [1].

This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After steadily declining for over a decade, global hunger is on the rise again, while various forms of malnutrition coexist. Climate change is already exacerbating this grim picture, which is why food security and food production will be a major focus of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 6th Assessment Cycle. Thanks to the participation of 250 experts from all around the world, the International Symposium on Food Security and Nutrition in the Age of Climate Change highlighted the importance of food and agricultural systems in the fight against climate change and presented concrete multi-sector solutions to address this global issue. The event placed special emphasis on the regional realities of West Africa and the Canadian North, as well as to the presence of young people and members of Indigenous and Northern communities directly affected by these issues. The summaries of these four days of plenaries, interactive workshops, and special events have been grouped under seven major themes for this publication: 1) Climate change, food security and nutrition: the issues; (2) The agriculture sectors in the context of climate change; (3) Food systems in the face of climate change; (4) Natural resources: challenges and solutions; (5) Food security and nutrition in a changing North; (6) Summary of solutions; (7) Strengthening and adapting regional and international cooperation.
