A variable climate, political instability, and other constraints have limited agricultural development in African countries south of the Sahara. Genetically modified (GM) crops are one tool for enhancing agricultural productivity and food security despite such constraints. Genetically Modified Crops in Africa: Economic and Policy Lessons from Countries South of the Sahara investigates how this tool might be effectively used by evaluating the benefits, costs, and risks for African countries of adopting GM crops. The authors gather together studies on GM crops economic effects and impact on trade, how consumers view such crops, and other issues. They find that GM crops have had, on average, a positive economic effect in the nations where they were used and identify future steps for enhancing GM crop adoptions positive effects. Promising policy initiatives include making biosafety regulations that do not make GM crop development prohibitively expensive, fostering intraregional trade in GM crops, and providing more and better information about GM crops to consumers who might currently be skeptical of them. These and other findings in Genetically Modified Crops in Africa indicate ways biotechnology can contribute to economic development in Africa south of the Sahara.

Since their commercial introduction in 1996, genetically modified (GM) crops have been adopted by farmers around the world at impressive rates. In 2011, 180 million hectares of GM crops were cultivated by more than 15 million farmers in 29 countries. In the next decade, global adoption is expected to grow even faster as the research pipeline for new biotech traits and crops has increased almost fourfold in the last few years. The adoption of GM crops has led to increased productivity, while reducing pesticide use and the emissions of agricultural greenhouse gases, leading to broadly distributed economic benefits across the global food supply chain. Despite the rapid uptake of GM crops, the various social and economic benefits as well as the expanding rate innovation, the use of GM crops remains controversial in parts of the world. Despite the emergence of coexistence between GM, organic and conventional crops as a key policy and practical issue of global scale, there is no coherent literature that addresses it directly. Governments and market stakeholders in many countries are grappling with policy alternatives that settle conflicting property rights, minimize negative market externalities and associated liabilities, maximize the economic benefits of innovation and allow producer and consumer choice. This book intends to fill these needs with contributions from the top theoreticians, legal and economic analysts, policy makers and industry practitioners in the field. As the economics and policy of coexistence start to emerge as an separate subfield in agricultural, environmental and natural resource economics with an increasing number of scholars working on the topic, the book will also provide a comprehensive base in the literature for those entering the area, making it of interest to students, scholars and policy-makers alike.

Higher world food prices have led many developing countries to adopt policies to mitigate the impact on low-income households. This article sets out a partial equilibrium framework to evaluate the efficiency, distributional, and revenue implications of alternative policy responses. The model is applied to evaluate tariff reductions and targeted transfers in Madagascar. Although lowering tariffs generates substantial efficiency gains, these accrue mainly to the top half of the welfare distribution, and poor net sellers are actually worse off. Developing a system of targeted direct transfers to poor households is likely to be a substantially more cost-effective approach to poverty alleviation.

This new 2-volume set explores new research and perspectives in genetic engineering, which enables the precise control of the genetic composition and gene expression of organism. This powerful technology can be used for environmental sustainability, food and nutritional security, medicinal advancement, and more. Genetic Engineering aims to provide a deep understanding of the many aspects of this emerging technology and its diverse applications. Genetic Engineering, Volume 1: Principles, Mechanism, and Expression covers genetic engineering concepts, molecular tools, and technologies utilized in the manipulation, amplification, and introgression of DNA. The volume explains the concepts of genetic engineering, enzymes of genetic engineering, and tools used in genetic engineering. It provides an introduction of recombinant DNA into host cells and discusses the linking of desired gene with DNA vector/gene cloning vector, polymerase chain reactions, the concept and nature of genes, blotting techniques, chromosome jumping, electrophoresis, genetically engineered microorganisms, and molecular markers and their applications. Genetic Engineering, Volume 2: Applications, Bioethics, and Biosafety expresses the various appreciation and challenges of genetic engineering and issues related to bioethics and biosafety. Chapters cover the legal issues of genetic engineering, including intellectual property rights (IPR) and protection (IPP) and the patenting of living organisms, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks. The volume considers the safety and benefits of genetic engineering in human welfare, such as in genetically engineered Bt and Bt cotton, along with the biohazards of recombinant DNA technology. Chapters explain genetically modified organisms and microorganisms, genetic engineering of horticultural crops, genetic engineering in the agricultural sciences, and more. This 2-volume book will be a valuable asset to upper-level students in cell biology as well as to faculty and researchers involved in genetics, molecular genetics, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, zoology and agriculture sciences.
