You want to know more on international law and agrobiodiversity? There is much current controversy over whether the rights to seeds or plant genetic resources should be owned by the private sector or be common property. My latest book addresses the legal and policy aspects of the multilateral seed management regime. First, it studies in detail the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (the Treaty) in order to understand and identify its dysfunctions. Second, it proposes solutions - using recent developments of the "theory of the commons" - to improve the collective seed management system of the Treaty, a necessary condition for its member states to reach the overall food security and sustainable agriculture goals.

Great master! please share :-)

The way the industrial food system produces food and the eating patterns we are developing are both destroying the Planet, devastating forests, polluting wáter and soils and exacerbating climate change. We need to craft another system.
