Biotechnology and community development for food production: A case study in Thailand on Rhizobium inoculant production applied to tropical soybean production for food
The production of Rhizobium inoculant technology on a small scale for direct use by small scale farmers marks one of the first uses of cuttingedge biotechnology to reach the rural poor. Indeed, although the technology is proven to our satisfaction, research in attaining greater cost effectiveness for process, raw materials, and methods of application is continuing even now. The technology transfer process is a collaborative effort between AT International and the SVITA Foundation. The researchers at the NifTAL Project pursued avenues which led to practical, cost effective, and scale-neutral technology for the production of Rhizobium inoculant. The ability of AT International to recognize promising technologies combined with the apt research of the NifTAL Project and the competent management of the SVITA Foundation make for a successful project. AT International implements its mission with public funds made available by the U.S. Congress through the Agency for International Development in cooperation with the Employment and Small Enterprise Division of the Office of Rural and Institutional Development which is part of the Bureau of Science and Technology
