Seed Policy, Legislation and Law

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, the case studies in Seed Policy, Legislation, and Law make 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.
