The question of derivatives: promoting use and ensuring availability of non-proprietary plant genetic resources
Agricultural biodiversity has hitherto been valued almost exclusively as a source of traits that can be used in scientific breeding programs to improve the productivity of crop varieties and livestock breeds. We argue that it can make a far greater contribution to increased productivity. In parti...
