Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic shift from public to private sector agricultural research in many developed
countries. Developments in plant breeding and biotechnology, for example, have created profitable opportunities for
private investment. However, new issues, such as intellectual property rights, have arisen as a consequence. This book
discusses these and related issues.
Readership: Agricultural economics, policy and development. Ag-bio industries including biotechnology.
