Farmers, Gene Banks and Crop Breeding: Economic Analyses of
Diversity in Wheat, Maize, and Rice responds to concerns about the
loss of valuable genetic resources and crop vulnerability arising
from widespread cultivation of genetically uniform varieties. It
assembles a series of applied studies focusing on the fundamental
economic issues related to genetic diversity in crop species, with
special reference to developing countries. By presenting the
results of initial economic investigations of diversity in the
world's three major food crops (wheat, maize, and rice), this
volume furthers the understanding of the economic context in which
crop breeders make use of genetic resources and their diversity.
Farmers, Gene Banks and Crop Breeding: Economic Analyses of
Diversity in Wheat, Maize, and Rice responds to current concerns
about the loss of valuable genetic resources and crop vulnerability
arising from the widespread cultivation of genetically uniform
varieties. Previous work by economists in the study of biodiversity
has been largely theoretical and has emphasized species diversity.
In contrast, this book offers concrete steps in methods and
conceptual development, providing an annotated catalog of the tools
used to measure and value genetic diversity. The book will appeal
to international agricultural research institutions, to
international development organizations and NGOs, and to students
and professors in departments of agricultural and resource
economics who are concerned with the problem of biodiversity.
