Overview
- Provides key theoretical reflections from a five-year process of reviewing the potential of introducing systems to protect geographical identity for certain food and natural products in the Southern African region
- Analyses the TRIPS agreement and the important policy space it has created at national level for countries to decide on appropriate legal and institutional approaches to geographical indication protection
- Shows how the geographical indication instrument itself can be used in highly diverse ways at product level, thus adding to the richness of the instrument
- Helps assess the multifaceted nature of geographical indications proposed as an instrument for strengthening and securing market access and for promoting rural development, and also for conserving biodiversity and indigenous knowledge
