Phase 1, INTERPAKS, Both research in agricultural technology and construction of land infrastructure are characterized by indivisibility, externality, and jointness in supply and utilization. The theory of public good economics of the Samuelson-Musgrave tradition tells us that the goods and services with such attributes cannot be supplied at socially optimum levels if the supply is left to private firms within a competitive market mechanism. Public investments are required to correct for such market failure. The need for public institutions to conduct adaptive research and to build and coordinate the use of irrigation systems is especially critical in Asian agriculture, where the possibility for farm producers to conduct such activities by themselves is limited. In this article, the author attempts to demonstrate the critical importance of adaptive research and land infrastructure investment in the process of diffusion of agricultural technology, drawing on the history of rice technology development in Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, in contrast to the more recent development of rice technology in South and Southeast Asia, which has been heralded as the "green revolution". He attempts to identify what institutions have to be evolved for satisfying the basic requirements for technology diffusion in agriculture, and to infer what forces were responsible for inducing such institutional evolution.

James F. Evans Collection, This article describes the development and preliminary evaluation of model materials designed as one step in helping consumers understand how scientists assess food risks, how that information is used in food safety policy decisions, and what individuals can do to protect themselves from residual risks. Focus groups provided feedback on draft materials, and experts reviewed the simplified descriptions of specific food risks to assure consistency with current scientific knowledge. We used pilot tests to examine (1) whether initial factual questions would prompt more learning, and (2) the relative effectiveness of two formats: a paper version similar to typical government pamphlets and an interactive computer version. People learned about food safety from either version. There was little evidence that the "prompting" questions led to more learning, nor did subjects learn more from the computer version. Results suggest that the materials made respondents more comfortable about their own ability to choose and prepare safe food and increased their confidence in actions taken by government and industry.

Information technology (computers, communication, etc.) has become an indispensable part of modern life. As such, it is being transferred to the developing world from industrialized countries. However, real technology transfer rarely takes place in such transactions. What the Third World ends up with are prepackaged end products, for which it typically pays a great deal of money. As long as the industrialized countries hesitate to share their research and manufacturing methods, the developing nations will be at their mercy in this vital area. The Third World, in turn, should not expect a "free ride" in this connection, but should develop an information technology of its own.

Paper presented at the USDA/University of Missouri videoconference "Poised for the Press" on September 5, 1991., Print media seem to have a clear edge over television and radio in communicating complex information which requires detailed explanations. Most effective choice of media depends on what needs to be communicated.

James F. Evans Collection, New communication technologies such as the microcomputer, videotex/teletext systems, the videocassette recorder, and satellite receiving dishes have been available to farmers since the early 1980s. This longitudinal study examines ethical issues associated with the impact that differential patterns of adoption and use of these technologies have had on inequalities among farmers from 1982 to 1989. The results demonstrate a strong adoption and use bias toward larger scale farmers who already have well-developed skills for handling information. This bias is especially strong for microcomputer and videotex/teletex systems and it is increasing over time. Although the same farmers are not adopting all communication innovations, there is a strong tendency toward the already information-rich making the most use of the innovations they adopt. The article concludes with several recommendations that would help minimize some of these information inequalities. (original)

INTERPAKS, Examines the continuing supply of scientific information that farmers needs for modernizing agriculture. A diffusion system must disseminate and integrate new knowledge into individual farming operations. The degree of functional differentiation and organizational specialization that best serves farmers is clearly related to the current state of agricultural development in a given country and the manner in which other support to agriculture is managed. Information systems themselves require integration into specific adopting situations; this, the mere transplant of a system and its organization from one country to another should be avoided.

James F. Evans Collection, The choice by Telecom Australia of the Digital Radio Concentrator System (DRCS) as the mainstay for providing services to outback Australia has raised wide interest. This paper provides some background to this decision by way of discussing the DRCS and the main alternative, a satellite system. The characteristics of these two alternatives are discussed and a comparison is made on the basis of cost. This comparison, based on the latest industry figures, reveals that the DCRS is till the most cost-effective means of providing services in outback Australia by 1990. (author)
