RESOURCES:
Other background literature on the management of plant
genetic resources
There is a wealth of literature on the
management of plant genetic resources. The following list provides some titles
of relevance for farmers' rights, but is not intended to be exhaustive. It
seeks to cover different aspects of the management of plant genetic resources
from various perspectives and to provide some points of departure for further
reading.
