DESCRIPTION:
'This book provides a critical link between the study of agricultural biodiversity and the economics of market development across several low income nations.

Developing effective strategies to improve the way agricultural markets work, including how farmers use crop genetic resources, requires understanding of these variations. The case studies - all based around a common framework to aid comparability - also provide information on social, agricultural and economic factors which may be affecting the market availability, information, and cost of c
