This volume is based on manuscripts, the majority of which were submitted to the ad hoc panel of specialists on "Integrated Application of Emerging and Traditional Technologies for Development". The panel was the first in a series of panels of the United Nations Advisory Committee on Science and Technology for Development and was held from 13-16 December 1982 at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Los Baños, Laguna, The Philippines. Ushbu jild qoʻlyozmalarga asoslangan boʻlib, ularning aksariyati “Rivojlanish uchun rivojlanayotgan va anʼanaviy texnologiyalarni kompleks qoʻllash” boʻyicha maxsus mutaxassislar guruhiga taqdim etilgan. Panel Birlashgan Millatlar Tashkilotining Taraqqiyot boʻyicha Fan va texnologiya boʻyicha maslahat qoʻmitasi panellari qatoridagi birinchi boʻlib, 1982-yil 13-16-dekabr kunlari Xalqaro guruch tadqiqot institutida (IRRI), Los-Baños, Laguna, Filippinda boʻlib oʻtdi.
