This book explores the promissory discourses and practices
associated with the bioeconomy, focusing especially on the
transformation of institutions; the creation, appropriation, and
distribution of value; the struggle over resources, power, and
meaning; and the role of altruism, kinship, and care practices.
Governments and science enthusiasts worldwide are embracing the
bioeconomy, championing it as the key to health, wealth, and
sustainability, while citing it as justification to transform
research and regulatory institutions, health and agricultural
practices, ethics of privacy and ownership, and conceptions of self
and kin. Drawing together studies from Asia, Australia, the
Americas, and Europe, this volume encompasses subjects as diverse
as regenerative medicine, population health research, agricultural
finance, biobanking, assisted reproduction, immigration,
breastfeeding, self-help groups, GM fish, and mining sewage.
