It deliberately focuses on opium poppy and coca so as better contextualise drug crop cultivation as a development issue and explore the potential for encouraging closer engagement by the wider development community in the debate on effective drugs policy - much as health professionals took greater ownership of problem drugs use in the wake of HIV/AIDS.
