Fair and Equitable Benefit-Sharing in Agriculture (Open Access e-Book)
Reinventing Agrarian Justice
by Elsa Tsiumani
Book description
This book explores the emergence and development of the legal concept of fair and equitable benefit-sharing, and its application in agriculture.
Developed in the 1990s, the concept of fair and equitable benefit-sharing has been deployed in an ever-wider variety of international instruments, including those on biodiversity, climate change and human rights. A lack of clarity persists, however, on what fair and equitable benefit-sharing requires and entails, and whether its implementation supports or eventually undermines equity and justice. This book examines these questions in the area of land, food and agriculture, addressing for the first time several instances of the agricultural production chain, including research and development, land governance and land use and access to markets.Περισσότερα »Fair and Equitable Benefit-Sharing in Agriculture (Open Access e-Book)
