Where can I find the practical sharpest cutting-edge state-of-the-art technologies for ecologically and economically sound research so I can carry out crop production, protection, processing and storage research for immediate use by farmers in the tropics and subtropics?
Many farmers still use knives, hoes and cutlasses, and transport their produce using headloads and store them in home made structures. But many editors prefer razor-sharp cutting edge research that can be published in Nature. I feel that need based researchers like me are at a disadvantage.
What do I do: follow the need or the cutting-edge direction to stay on course?
Are indigenous technologies discarded forever?
