Description

"Barbara van Dyck outlines some criticisms of the way public research funding is evaluated in Europe, focusing on food and agricultural research. Measuring research success by the number of jobs it creates, the patents and publications it generates, or the investors it manages to attract, makes it possible to neglect its effects on environmental sustainability and food justice."
