IPBO & IIBN Release Book on "Innovative Farming and Forestry Across the Emerging World: The Role of Genetically Modified Crops and Trees"
January 11, 2017| |
The Institute of Plant Biotechnology Outreach (IPBO) and the International Industrial Biotechnology Network (IIBN) have released a comprehensive book Innovative Farming and Forestry Across the Emerging World: The Role of Genetically Modified Crops and Trees. The book makes the "business case" for the role of biotechnology innovations for sustainable development in emerging and developing economies. It seeks to support the factual debate on biosciences and technology for developing and emerging economies.
The book is edited by Sylvie De Buck, Ivan Ingelbrecht, Marc Heijde, and Marc Van Montagu of the IPBO, and provides a compilation of selected studies from different emerging and developing countries.
Download a copy of the book at the IPBO website. For print copies, contact Dr. Sylvie De Buck at sylvie.debuck@vib-ugent.be
