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 second of a series of IFPRI briefs on biotechnology and genetic resource policies. The first set, published in January 2003 and containing Briefs 1 through 6, focuses on intellectual property rights issues, and this second set deals with issues related to the ex situ genebank and its collection. 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 aspects of intellectual property rights, genetic resource management and conservation, biodiversity, and biotechnology.
