It seeks to identify a number of solutions to deal with the agricultural stresses caused by climate change. These range from the identification and cultivation of appropriate crop varieties and the adoption of climate adaptive agricultural practices. Significant sustainable agricultural innovation is required to deal with these challenges. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) may be of crucial importance for modern agriculture. They serve to make R&D in agriculture attractive, by encouraging investment in new technologies and generating tradeable assets. A number of the chapters of this book refer to the principal IPRs relevant to agricultural innovation, namely: (i) patents, which protect inventions; (ii) plant variety rights, which protect the breeding of new and distinct plant varieties; and (iii) trademarks and geographical indications, which facilitate the marketing of products by providing protection for the symbols of their manufacturing or geographic origin. The United Nations Climate Change Panel has urged the consideration of the agricultural practices of traditional communities and some of these practices particularly involving rice, banana, and brassica cultivation are explored in the book. This book is essential reading for officials of governments and international organizations concerned with sustainability, as well as scholars and students concerned with these subjectsResearchBiologyTechnologyEngineeringAgriculturealternative energy sourceEthiopian mustardsustainabilityagricultural green developmententropy weight methodspatial heterogeneityspatial spillover effectChinarice yieldsclimate changephenologyrelative contributionpartial correlationseed securitybanana tissue culture planting materialuptakebanana farmerscentral Ugandatraditional rice economicsinstitutionalsocio-demographic factorsmultinomial logit modelconstraintsChina-Africa cooperationagricultural programagricultural trainingtechnology adoptiondamsagriculturelivelihoodshealthschistosomiasisrestorationsustainable developmentclimate adaptationrice-wheat cropping systemSouth Asiawater requirementsnitrogendirect seedingagricultural science, technology and innovationInnovation efficiencyDEAG20productivityefficiencyfood securitydigital agriculturesmart farmingdigitalizationdigital technologiesMiddle East and North Africadecision makinginstrumental variableneighbourhood effectsrice farmersrisk attitudesspatial dependenceagricultural innovationsustainable agricultureplant breedingcerealsintellectual propertyagricultural lawplant variety rightsseed marketingEuropean Unionfertilizerknowledgeattitudeease of usemotivationwork performanceResearch.Biology.Technology.Engineering.Agriculture.Blakeney MichaelBOOK9910566466403321Agricultural Innovation and Sustainable Development3572795UNINA
