This book, Crop Sustainability and Intellectual Property Rights,
merges the concepts of traditional agriculture, crop
sustainability, and intellectual property rights associated with
plant protection and agricultural products. This volume provides a
comprehensive account of the perspectives of traditional
agriculture, crop sustainability, and various strategies associated
with crop tolerance to adverse environmental conditions. It also
highlights the role of agricultural intellectual property rights,
along with the implications for plant patents, protection of
farmers’ rights, and geographical indication in plant products to
provide a broader outlook toward strategies for sustainable
agriculture and global food security associated with IPR. The
chapters provide an overview of sustainable crop cultivation in a
variety of ways, with both traditional agriculture as well as with
new biotechnological approaches. The volume explores several stress
resilience strategies and issues for crops, considering how to
mitigate the effect of increased carbon dioxide concentration,
heavy metal pollution, over-salinized soils, and cold spells. It
also discusses how to make desert farming more efficient; how to
increase abiotic stress tolerance of crops with grafting, seed
soaking/priming, soil amendment, and foliar applications; and more.
The chapters on agricultural intellectual property rights address
IPR in conjunction with food security, the rights of farmers, legal
applications and protection of plant patents, protection of
traditional knowledge, international legal issues, and plant
variety protection rights in agriculture and more. The book will be
valuable for academicians and researchers at universities and
research institutes working on stress physiology, genomics,
proteomics, genetic engineering, breeding, and sustainable
agriculture. Furthermore, lawyers, policymakers, and legal
executives associated with agriculture and plant science will find
useful information as well.
