Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and Geographical
Indications (GIs) have a long history, leading back to two separate
organizations devoted to dealing with them: the World Trade
Organization (WTO) and the World Intellectual Property Organization
(WIPO). The WTO, through its 1994 TRIPS Agreement, gives wines a
high level of protection, but leaves individual countries to draw
up national GIs legislation for other agri-food products. On the
other hand, the WIPO implemented the Lisbon Agreement of 1958 and
gives GIs a high level of protection, but involves a lower number
of countries. The US approach follows the WTO and is based on
existing trademarks and competition legislation, while the EU
legislation is partly based on the Lisbon Agreement and has a sui
generis legislation, giving a high level of protection to agri-food
GIs. The two different legislative approaches on IPRs on GIs are a
source of political and economic debate between the US and the EU
that impact massively on agri-food supply chains, consumer
relations, and environmental and cultural aspects, as well as
trade.This book provides insights into the potential impacts that
the future Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
agreement could have at national, European and international level,
and covers areas such as policy setting, implications for trade and
consumer perception, food safety, and rural and local development.
As such, it will provide a reference point for researchers and
academics in agricultural and rural economics and law, as well as
policy makers.
Local Agri-food Systems in a Global World: Market, Social and
Environmental Challenges is an important new collection of essays
making a landmark contribution to the ongoing debate on local
agri-food systems, local development in rural areas and new
patterns of agri-food systems. There is a new awareness of the
links between local and global strategies of food production and
processing, and these have become an increasingly important topic
of research worldwide.Effective analysis of the spatial dynamics of
agri-food systems requires an interdisciplinary approach involving
economics, geography, sociology, demographics and agronomy.
Chapters cover areas such as: current spatial dynamics in agri-food
systems; the socio-environmental impact of agri-food systems on
rural development; the role of local resources in agri-food
systems; the governance and public policies of local agri-food
systems; and, last but not least, new methodological approaches to
spatial dynamics of agri-food systems. The book provides an
essential tool for researchers and academics in rural economics,
sociology, geography and social sciences as well as policy makers.
