’This book is an excellent resource for those mapping the increasingly complex links between intellectual property rights (IPRs) and food security. It both highlights the potential of IPRs to enhance agricultural production, and analyses some of the challenges raised by IPRs that are key for the future of global agriculture.’ Elise Perset, General Counsel, CGIAR Consortium ’Dealing with the relevance and expansive nature of intellectual property on food and food-related developments, this book is a welcome, multi-disciplinary contribution to the subject. In conceptual and practical terms, it facilitates a better grasp of the challenges and policy responses.’ Pedro Roffe, International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, Switzerland
