Learn what it takes to create and implement a truly successful seed policy!
This unique book brings together international experts on seed policy and law. While other books approach the subject from the perspective of seed industry development and privatization, Seed Policy, Legislation, and Law makes clear that a successful national seed policy must be based on a thorough analysis of connected issues such as biodiversity and rural development. In addition to giving you an essential overview of seed regulatory reform, this book will also bring you up to date on recent developments in the field, such as intellectual property and the biosafety of GMOs.
Seed Policy, Legislation, and Law examines:
quality control issues in developing countries
case studies from Turkey, Uganda, and Bangladesh
property rights for plant varieties
the regulation of genetically modified seeds in emerging economies
agro-biodiversity as it relates to seed policy
why a farmer seed system is essential in a national seed sector
the impact of the transition from central seed sector planning to a free market
how international seed associations can impact policy development
new technological developments like GURTs and appropriate policy responses
