Overview
- Presents the first interdisciplinary approach to a comprehensive theory of intellectual property, genetic resources, and biosafety, covering all types of plant germplasm
- The system is expected to yield higher productivity rates in crops and improved food biodiversity, making it relevant to a broad audience
- Proposes a binding international convention that would supersede all regulations concerning plants and biosafety

About this book
This book puts forward an innovative approach: a “Comprehensive Plant Germplasm System”. The System is a cooperative game theory-based proposal for a binding international convention which would supersede all other conventions, treaties, national and regional legislation covering native varieties and traditionaldevelopments, heterogeneous plant varieties, microorganisms, biotechnological inventions, plant genetic resources, and biosafety regulation.
In short, it offers a comprehensive framework regarding intellectual property, biosafety, and business regulation and covers all types of germplasm.
If applied, the system is expected to yield higher productivity rates in crops and improved food biodiversity, as well as a new paradigm based on the promotion of innovation for “Agriculture 4.0.”
