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 subjectsBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology, engineering, agriculturebicsscagricultural green developmentagricultural innovationagricultural lawagricultural programagricultural science, technology and innovationagricultural trainingagriculturealternative energy sourceattitudebanana farmersbanana tissue culture planting materialcentral UgandacerealsChinaChina-Africa cooperationclimate adaptationclimate changeconstraintsdamsDEAdecision makingdigital agriculturedigital technologiesdigitalizationdirect seedingease of useefficiencyentropy weight methodEthiopian mustardEuropean Unionfertilizerfood securityG20healthInnovation efficiencyinstitutionalinstrumental variableintellectual propertyknowledgelivelihoodsMiddle East and North Africamotivationmultinomial logit modeln/aneighbourhood effectsnitrogenpartial correlationphenologyplant breedingplant variety rightsproductivityrelative contributionrestorationrice farmersrice yieldsrice-wheat cropping systemrisk attitudesschistosomiasisseed marketingseed securitysmart farmingsocio-demographic factorsSouth Asiaspatial dependencespatial heterogeneityspatial spillover effectsustainabilitysustainable agriculturesustainable developmenttechnology adoptiontraditional rice economicsuptakewater requirementswork performanceBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalTechnology, engineering, agricultureBlakeney MichaelBOOK9910566466403321Agricultural Innovation and Sustainable Development3572795UNINA
