Restoring Cursed Earth: Appraising Environmental Policy Reforms in Eastern Europe and Russia

Auer, Matthew R., ed. Restoring Cursed Earth: Appraising Environmental Policy Reforms in Eastern Europe and Russia. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 2004.

Book chapter: Pimbert, Michel, "Transforming Knowledge and Ways of Knowing"

This chapter argues that transforming knowledge requires a radical shift away from the existing top-down and increasingly corporate-controlled research system and toward an approach which devolves more responsibility and decision-making power to farmers, food workers, and consumers/citizens for the production of knowledge in the natural and social sciences.
