Abstract: This book is based on papers presented at the 4th meeting of the International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research on the 'Economics of Agricultural Biotechnology'. A subset of those papers is included in this volume, which addresses market development issues in developed countries, primarily in Europe and North America. Organized in 4 parts, this volume focuses on consumer reactions to GM foods, farmer acceptance of biotechnology products, the role of information systems and associated regulatory developments; and changes in industrial organization in life science and food sectors. It is aimed at those working in agricultural biotechnology and agricultural economics. The book has 26 chapters and a subject index.
