Book excerpt: Increasingly knowledge, and its application, is becoming proprietary. This impacts on all research and development. The CGIAR has always aimed to produce international public goods, available freely for all to use. How should the system respond to these changes in the management and application of knowledge? Proprietary rights, in agricultural biotechnology and equally in germplasm are being claimed by both private firms and public institutions. They include patent rights; plant variety rights; and contractual rights arising from material transfer agreements (MTAs). There are also other rights, as yet not so clearly defined as intellectual property: obligations imposed (or to be imposed) by the CBD; Farmers' Rights; and traditional resource rights. We term these "alternative rights regimes"; Our panel, to advise on these matters, was deliberately constituted with a range of expertise and viewpoints. Because our views differ strongly, we can neither endorse the current systems of rights nor oppose them. The same goes for biotechnology: generally, or in specific applications. But we have been able to agree on some practical steps that the centers should now take.

Book excerpt: This report covers the first major external programme and management review (EPMR) of CIMMYT since 1988. Since that date, external reviews have been limited to a small-scale Interim Review (IER) in 1993, which the panel chose as the starting point for this review, and a series of Centre-Commisioned External Reviews (CCERs). Judged by the usual timetable for centre reviews, CIMMYT was therefore overdue for a full-scale external review. Notwithstanding this situation, the timing of the panel's visit was not ideal since CIMMYT is currently undergoing fundamental changes in the way it operates, under a director general who has been in office for only two years. The assessment of the Panel has therefore been conditioned by the requirement to review a system in the process of evolution. It has been assisted in this by the Medium-Term Plan (MTP) for the years 1998-2000 which CIMMYT has produced and which currently serves as the centre's statement of strategy. Compared with 1988, the duration of the exercise and the extent of travel allotted to the review was much reduced. It was not possible for the Panel to see every aspect of CIMMYT's work at first hand. However, Panel members visited CIMMYT's outreach activities in sub-Saharan Africa, in Asia and in Latin America before returning to Mexico for the main phase of the process. Opportunities therefore arose to consult not only with CIMMYT staff but also with key NARS representatives in the regions and in the host country. Some members of the Panel took the opportunity to have discussions with key donors and other participants during International Centers Week in Washington. "The Panel's overall view of CIMMYT is extremely favourable. The Centre conducts high-quality science and has an impressive record of achievements as well as impact on the daily livelihood of hundreds of millions of rural and urban poor. CIMMYT is well managed, has strong leadership, and is a flagship, and is a flagship centre of the CGIAR System".

Download or read book Sustaining Global Food Security written by Robert Zeigler and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2019-10-09 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Population growth alone dictates that global food supplies must increase by over 50% in coming decades. Advances in technology offer an array of opportunities to meet this demand, but history shows that these can be fully realised only within an enabling policy environment. Sustaining Global Food Security makes a compelling case that recent technological breakthroughs can move the planet towards a secure and sustainable food supply only if new policies are designed that allow their full expression. Bob Zeigler has brought together a distinguished set of scientists and policy analysts to produce well-referenced chapters exploring international policies on genetic resources, molecular genetics, genetic engineering, crop breeding and protection, remote sensing, the changing landscape of agricultural policies in the world’s largest countries, and trade. Those entering the agricultural sciences and those who aspire to influence public policy during their careers will benefit from the insights of this unique set of experiences and perspectives.

Download or read book Global Food Politics and Approaches to Sustainable Consumption Emerging Research and Opportunities written by Amadi, Luke and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food production and consumption processes are largely governed via control mechanisms that affect food accessibility and environmental efficiency. Food resource marginalization, inequality, and deleterious consumption urgently require new governance and developmental systems that will provide food security and create consumption patterns that protect the natural environment and food resources. Global Food Politics and Approaches to Sustainable Consumption: Emerging Research and Opportunities is an essential reference source that discusses the challenges and solutions of food security and consumption control. Food politics can be linked to persistent challenges of inequitable access, food resource inefficiency, and control and consumption, which form part of the local development realities that can address global sustainable development. While highlighting topics such as rural agriculture, capitalism, and food chain management, this publication is ideally designed for policymakers, sustainable developers, politicians, ecologists, environmentalists, corporate executives, farmers, and academicians seeking current research on the policies and modalities of food efficiency and equality.
