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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781441948649\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4757-3178-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 434\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266227196044,"sku":"9781441948649","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781441948649.jpg?v=1770816069","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781441948649","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
