Recenzii
'This book provides a critical link between the study of agricultural biodiversity and the economics of market development across several low income nations. The editors do a brilliant job of synthesizing diverse case studies and identifying policy opportunities to improve the development of national seed systems.'Prabhu L. Pingali, Deputy Director, Agricultural Development, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation'This book is an excellent synthesis of issues and case studies on seed trade and implications for crop genetic resources. It provides fascinating examples related to human livelihoods and indirectly, to crop evolution.'Louise Jackson, Associate Professor, Department of Vegetable Crops, University of California Davis, USA, and Co-chair DIVERSITAS agroBIODIVERSITY Scientific Committee''Seed Trade in Rural Markets' is a choice pick for any agricultural studies collection'The Midwest Book Review.
