Yet there are economic and institutional constraints at national and international levels that inhibit the poor people's access to appropriate biotechnological innovations. \u003cem\u003eAgricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries: Towards Optimizing\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003ethe Benefits for the Poor\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283938533527,"sku":"9781441948649","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781441948649.webp?v=1769279690","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/agricultural-biotechnology-in-developing-countries-towards-optimizing-the-benefits-for-the-poor-9781441948649","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
