James F. Evans Collection, This study deals with the hypothesis that communication media of the West are comparatively more influential in exporting cultural imperialism to the socio-cultural disadvantage of developing countries. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of the powerful media of the West, particularly of the USA vis-a-vis other dominant factors which are considered effective tools of cultural exportation from the haves to the have-nots.

search through journal, The article discusses the convergence of two potentially positive trends that may help to reduce poverty and environmental deterioration in Central America - the creation of networks by grassroots and environmental organizations, and the spread of information and communications technology. The article is based on research in six highly endangered, protected areas in Central America. it discusses emerging trends in "connectedness" at local, national, regional, and international levels. Looking to the future, it concludes that "informational empowerment" can be a practical strategy for reducing poverty and environmental degradation.

Kerry J. Byrnes Collection, International Fertilizer Development Center in behalf of a contract with the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation. 61 pages, In this report, interest is focused on whether fertilizer assists the rural poor, particularly the small farmers and sharecroppers to increase their economic status relative to large farmers. Much of the data used was drawn from small samples that may or may not be representative of Bangladesh.
17 pages, via online journal, The greatest challenge now facing agricultural science is not how to increase production overall but how to enable resource-poor farmers to produce more.
The transfer-of-technology (TOT) model of agricultural research is part of the normal professionalism of agricultural scientists. In this model, scientists largely determine research priorities, develop technologies in controlled conditions, and then hand them over to agricultural extension to transfer to farmers. Although strong structures and incentives sustain this normal professionalism, many now recognise the challenge of its bad fit with the needs and conditions of hundreds of millions of resource-poor farm (RPF) families. In response to this problem, the TOT model has been adapted and extended through multi-disciplinary farming systems research (FSR) and on-farm trials. These responses retain power in the hands of scientists. Information is obtained from farmers and processed and analysed in order to identify what might be good for them. A missing element is methods to encourage and enable resource-poor farmers themselves to meet and work out what they need and want.
