About this ebook

The investment climate for firms producing genetically modified (GM) agricultural products has recently experienced considerable change, with the occurrence of remarkably high rate of farmer acceptance, but considerable consumer resistance. The present system that involves firms developing biotech products, farmers producing the products, food and related agribusiness industrial firms, and consumers of food, is very volatile. This however will soon be affected by changes in reulatory, trade and food safety regimes.This book addresses these key issues and is based on papers presented at the fourth meeting of The International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research (ICABR), on Economics of Agricultural Biotechnology, held at Ravello, Italy, in August 2000. Organized in four parts, this volume focuses on:Consumer reactions to GM food informationRegulatory issuesFarmer acceptance of biotech productsChanges in industrial organization in life science and food sectors

Ratings and reviews

This was a very interesting piece of work. The research provided by Jacinta Ryan was extremely accurate and well planned. Jacinta has gone on to provide research in other areas such as stem cell, cloning, and aerospace engineering. However, her real research passion lies on that of the perfect 10 pizza. She has learned to make a perfect crust, edge lock, and always executes proper NTZ techniques. Also, a day never goes by when you will find her shirt untucked. She is all business all the time. If you are interested in reading some of her other books, I recommend you check out some of these fine works, "Buckle up and Drive Safe", "Thank you Hot Pie", and my personal favorite "Don't Scoop the Cheese".
