Behaviour and attitudes: a missing link in agricultural science?

The thesis of this paper is that "our" (professionals', scientists', outsiders') behaviour and attitudes are a key missing link for good agricultural science; and that unless they are confronted and transformed, as part of a new definition of professionalism, the agriculture of small farmers will not achieve its potential, and the needs of many of the food-insecure of the world will not be met.
