This book analyzes the impacts of current and possible future GM
crop applications and shows that these technologies can contribute
substantially to sustainable agricultural development and food
security.
Biotechnology offers great potential to contribute to sustainable
agricultural growth, food security and poverty alleviation in
developing countries. Yet there are economic and institutional
constraints at national and international levels that inhibit the
poor people's access to appropriate biotechnological innovations.
Agricultural Biotechnology in Developing Countries: Towards
Optimizing the Benefits for the Poor 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.

Transgenic plants are cultivated on a large scale worldwide, and
most of the harvested products are fed to domestic animals. By
gathering together more than 150 feeding studies with
food-producing animals, and covering both first- and
second-generation transgenic plants, this book provides the first
central resource of this information for researchers, students,
policy makers and all those who are interested in future
developments in the field.
