Title All around seeds
 
Creator Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation
 
Description For ages, farmers have developed and produced their own seeds and exchanged them with neighbours and this is still common practice. Somewhere in history, commercial companies emerged to produce and trade seeds and governments started to play a role in plant breeding, seed production and distribution too. The contemporary issues of intellectual property rights, biotechnology, biodiversity and farmers access to seeds, all entered the arena. In Seed provision, Robert Tripp analyses these developments in terms of each key player, traditional suppliers, commercial enterprises, government, aid agencies and seed projects. Each gets a chapter full of realistic and critical treatment and shows the route towards desirable management of agricultural development. The author takes you by the hand through all the controversies of seed supply. Even if you have a vast appetite for grasping the complexities of seed supply, this well-written and structured book will sate you.
