On his reactions to the Tropentag, Jack Heinemann, Professor for Genetics and Gene Ecology at the University of Canterbury, NZ, and author of the book “Hope not Hype: The Future of Agriculture”, commented that this event gives a legacy to the milestone report “International Assessment of Agricultural Knowledge, Science and Technology for Development” known as IAASTD. This international documents is in danger of being forgotten. When different stakeholders discuss and reflect on the report it helps to keep the message into the head, and keep pressures on the policy makers. Read summaries of the presentation and discussion on the report on our blog post, Final Address: Agriculture at the Crossroads or missing K, 'I think its an mythology to say scientists are not human beings, and to say we have no sense about the implication of the research or to say its only an emotional if someone describes which is factually not correct and to say its emotional to respond to that rather than objective to respond to that' - are some of his short remarks to the debate fueled by Prof Paul Collier by his statement in the Tropentag 2010, 'scientist should work with their heads not hearts'.
