An overview is provided on the economics of technological regulation as applied to agricultural crop biotechnologies. Key elements of agricultural biotechnology regulation in the United States are summarized. Key words: agricultural biotechnologies, causes and consequences of technological regula tion, overview and synthesis 1. INTRODUCTION Agricultural biotechnologies apply modern knowledge in molecular and cell biology to produce new varieties and similar genetic materials. The use of genetically modified (GM) crop varieties has grown dramatically since they were introduced in 1995, and large portions of the land allocated to corn, soybeans, and cotton are grown with these varieties. The evidence from the United States, Canada, China, India, Brazil, and Argentina suggests that these applications of | 出版日期 | Book 2006 | 关键词 | Agricultural Policy; Agricultural Sector; Genetically Modified Food; Imitation; biotechnology; compliance | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-36953-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-4239-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-0-387-36953-2Series ISSN 0929-127X Series E-ISSN 2511-8560 | issn_series | 0929-127X | copyright | Springer-Verlag US 2006 |
