New Book on International Regimes and the Management of Crop Genetic Resources
September 12, 2008| |
Fritdtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) Senior Research Fellow Regine Andersen has recently published a book that provides the first comprehensive analysis of how the international agreements pertaining to crop genetic resources affect the management of these vital resources for food security and poverty eradication in developing countries. The book analyses the international regimes and their interaction, traces the driving forces across scales and the effects in developing countries. It identifies entry points to shape a better governance of agrobiodiversity.
