Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries

Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
Biotechnology offers great potential to contribute to sustainable agricultural growth, food security and poverty alleviation in developing countries. Yet there are economic and institutional constraints at national and international levels that inhibit the poor people's access to appropriate biotechnological innovations. Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries: Towards Optimizing the Benefits for the Poor addresses the major constraints. Twenty-three chapters, written by a wide range of scholars and stake-holders, provide an up-to-date analysis of agricultural biotechnology developments in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Besides the expected economic and social impacts, the challenges for an adjustment of the international research structure are discussed, with a special focus on intellectual property rights and the roles of the main research organizations. Harnessing the comparative advantages of the public and private sectors through innovative partnerships is the only way forward to optimize the benefits of biotechnology for the poor. The book will be an invaluable resource for both academics and policy-makers concerned with agricultural biotechnology in context of developing-countries.

Book Description
Proceedings of a symposium jointly organized by the IAEA and FAO, Vienna, 19-23 June 1995. The aim of the symposium was to review current aspects of mutation and molecular biology techniques for use in crop improvement and to bridge the gap between practical plant breeding and molecular techniques. Problems of crop improvement worldwide, and their possible solution, were discussed. It was concluded that use of all available approaches, including mutation and molecular biology techniques, will be crucial to future plant breeding programmes in order to meet the world's food production challenges.
