There are a number of controversial issues that surround agricultural
biotechnology and genetically modified products. International trade and
policies are at the forefront of these controversies. This book
addresses these issues and has been developed from a meeting of the
International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research, held in
Revello, Italy, in July 2004. It covers five themes: analytical studies,
empirical trade studies, spillover dimensions, intellectual property
rights and applied general equilibrium trade models.
