David Wood spent over twenty years working in agriculture and living in developing countries of Latin America/Caribbean, Africa and Tropical Asia). He was a Lecturer in the Faculty of Agriculture, University of the West Indies, Director of Aldabra Atoll Research Station (now part of a World Heritage Site nature reserve), and a specialist in economic botany, crop genetic resources, and biodiversity conservation.
