Biotechnology holds tremendous promise for improving agricultural production in the developing world. Its success, however, depends in part on each developing nation's ability to attract or develop appropriate technology, which in turn depends on government policies and private sector goals. Produced under the auspices of the Agricultural Biotechnology for Sustainable Productivity (ABSP) project, this volume provides a broad overview of the latest research, applications and policy requirements related to biotechnology in developing countries. Topic include food security, capacity building, intellectual property rights, technology transfer, biosafety, and the role of private enterprise.
