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 subjects 606 $aResearch 606 $aBiology 606 $aTechnology 606 $aEngineering 606 $aAgriculture 610 $aalternative energy source 610 $aEthiopian mustard 610 $asustainability 610 $aagricultural green development 610 $aentropy weight method 610 $aspatial heterogeneity 610 $aspatial spillover effect 610 $aChina 610 $arice yields 610 $aclimate change 610 $aphenology 610 $arelative contribution 610 $apartial correlation 610 $aseed security 610 $abanana tissue culture planting material 610 $auptake 610 $abanana farmers 610 $acentral Uganda 610 $atraditional rice economics 610 $ainstitutional 610 $asocio-demographic factors 610 $amultinomial logit model 610 $aconstraints 610 $aChina-Africa cooperation 610 $aagricultural program 610 $aagricultural training 610 $atechnology adoption 610 $adams 610 $aagriculture 610 $alivelihoods 610 $ahealth 610 $aschistosomiasis 610 $arestoration 610 $asustainable development 610 $aclimate adaptation 610 $arice-wheat cropping system 610 $aSouth Asia 610 $awater requirements 610 $anitrogen 610 $adirect seeding 610 $aagricultural science, technology and innovation 610 $aInnovation efficiency 610 $aDEA 610 $aG20 610 $aproductivity 610 $aefficiency 610 $afood security 610 $adigital agriculture 610 $asmart farming 610 $adigitalization 610 $adigital technologies 610 $aMiddle East and North Africa 610 $adecision making 610 $ainstrumental variable 610 $aneighbourhood effects 610 $arice farmers 610 $arisk attitudes 610 $aspatial dependence 610 $aagricultural innovation 610 $asustainable agriculture 610 $aplant breeding 610 $acereals 610 $aintellectual property 610 $aagricultural law 610 $aplant variety rights 610 $aseed marketing 610 $aEuropean Union 610 $afertilizer 610 $aknowledge 610 $aattitude 610 $aease of use 610 $amotivation 610 $awork performance 615 0$aResearch. 615 0$aBiology. 615 0$aTechnology. 615 0$aEngineering. 615 0$aAgriculture. 702 $aBlakeney$b Michael 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566466403321 996 $aAgricultural Innovation and Sustainable Development$93572795 997 $aUNINA
