UNCTAD-ICTSD: Nutrition and technology transfer policies
As a contribution to the UNCTAD-ICTSD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development-International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development) Project on Intellectual Property Rights and Sustainable Development, a paper entitled "Nutrition and technology transfer policies" by J.H. Barton has just been published on the web. The 27-page paper describes nutrition and agricultural trends; technology transfer processes in nutrition and agriculture; analyses the key policy issues (including biosafety and biotechnology) in 4 situations (market or small-holder agriculture, with private or public sector technology transfer) and, finally, reviews the general implications for developing countries.
