Includes bibliographical references and indexes

There are 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 Ravello, Italy, in July 2004. It covers analytical studies, commercialised products of biotechnology and trade pattern effects, spillover dimensions, mergers, acquisitions and flows of agbiotech intellectual property, intellectual property rights, applied general equilibrium trade models and opposition to genetically modified what and global food security. It will be of significant interest to those studying biotechnology and socioeconomics.
