Book (stand-alone)Working paperLa economía de la investigación de biotecnología agrícola 2003
Also available in:
No results found.This paper examines the economic determinants and impacts of agricultural research, particularly biotechnology research, with a view to understanding the potential of agricultural biotechnology to address the needs of the poor in developing countries. It surveys public and private agricultural research in developed and developing countries since the green revolution and discusses the public goods nature of much agricultural research. Unlike the research that launched the green revolution, agricu ltural biotechnology research is primarily being conducted by private firms in industrialized countries to address problems of temperate-zone commercial agriculture. These differences have important implications for the development and diffusion of new technologies to meet the needs of the poor. -

Book (series)Technical studyAgricultural census legislation 1984
Also available in:
No results found.This study is divided into three parts. The first part sets out the reasons why specific legislation is needed here. The second consists of a comparative study of the main aspects of such legislation. The third part contains the texts of several laws, regulations and similar enactments of various countries and two international organizations. The selection of countries has been made on the basis of the documentation available at FAO and information on these countries received by the Statistical Development Service from the 1970 and 1980 World Censuses of Agriculture. The selection, again, is governed by considerations of geographic distribution and diversity of legal systems and of economic development. The aim has been to provide a broad range of examples, and the inclusion or omission of any particular country does not imply any value judgement as to its juridical system or its current laws.
