Sommario/riassunto

Agri-food bio-technology policy and regulation is transitioning from an early period focused on genetic engineering technologies to 'next-generation' rules and regulatory processes linked to challenges originating in a wide variety of new technological processes and applications. Can lessons learned from past and current regulatory oversights of agricultural biotechnology - and other high-technology



sectors - help us address new and emerging regulatory challenges in the agri-food genetics sector?The expert contributors in this volume discuss the experiences of a wide range of North A
