The purpose of this book is to assess a variety of economic issues as they relate to agro-biodiversity and show how addressing these issues can assist in agro-biodiversity policy-making. This is illustrated using empirical data from some of the countries (Ethiopia, Nepal and Zambia) which are par...

The economics of managing crop diversity on-farm: Case studies from the genetic resources policy initiative
A great diversity of fruit species has originated in the American tropics. Despite their many uses - including fresh consumption, animal feeding, agribusiness and crop diversification - just a few Neotropical fruits have been studied. This makes bibliography scarce, scattered and not easily acces...
