Seeding Solutions brings readers up to date on what has changed -- scientifically, politically, and environmentally -- since the publication in 1994 of the landmark People, Plants, and Patents. Volume 1 offers policymakers a clear description of the facts, the fights, and the fora relevant to the ownership, conservation, and exchange of genetic resources. Readers new to these issues will learn from this book why germplasm is important and how it relates to trade negotiations, intellectual property disputes, and food and health security, both nationally and internationally
