Using the Green Revolution in Indian agriculture as the empirical basis, this article argues for
the epistemic significance of technology as a form of knowledge. The concept of technology as
knowledge evolved out of the interactive model of the relationship between science and
technology. The Green Revolution is generally referred to as the change in agricultural practice
experienced in parts of the Third World in recent decades as a result of the introduction of mainly
the high-yielding varieties of seeds (HYVs). Using this empirical example, the article proposes
that technological change may be conceptualized within an epistemological framework of
technological knowledge.
