Agricultural Biotechnology and Globalization: How will public-private partnerships evolve
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper examines the challenges and opportunities facing the agricultural biotechnology sector as it works to sustain innovations and further propagate its benefits into the new century. We survey the milestones of technological, legal, and economic precedence in this area and discuss institutional mechanisms for public and private partnership that can help agricultural biotechnology fulfill its immense promise. In particular, we emphasize the importance of the public sector in facilitating private agency, via promotion of basic research, dissemination of innovations, and as a guarantor of property rights.

The potential for public private sector partnerships is likely to grow. However, despite a number of high profile success stories, promoting partnerships has proved more difficult than many assumed.
