GM crops and biodiversity - Working paper
As part of its ESA Working Papers series, FAO`s Agricultural and Development Economics Division (ESA) has just published "Private research and public goods: Implications of biotechnology for biodiversity" by T. Raney and P. Pingali. This 31-page document explores a range of policy options to increase the likelihood that private sector research and development, particularly in the form of transgenic crops, enhances rather than erodes crop genetic diversity. The ESA Working Papers series presents ESAs ongoing research and papers are circulated to stimulate discussion and comments. See
