ABOUT RESEARCH AT A GLANCE AND THIS SERIES
Researchers and policy analysts increasingly need concise, comprehensive information on all aspects of complex research issues. IFPRI's Research at a Glance series has been designed to meet this need.This volume contains the first of a series of IFPRI briefs on biotechnology and genetic resource policies. The briefs present syntheses and synopses of research conducted by a team from IFPRI's Environment and Production Technology Division and several collaborators. The team focuses on issues related to intellectual property rights, genetic resource management and conservation, biodiversity, and biotechnology.
