Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the economic implications of commercializing biotechnology in field-crop production. The author, an expert in the field, provides valuable insights into the potential effects of utilizing advanced plant cultivars with improved genetic characteristics. The focus is on twelve specific biotechnologies, including those that enhance nitrogen fixation, resistance to pests and diseases, and tolerance to environmental stresses. Through the use of economic modeling, the book estimates the welfare changes associated with the adoption of each technology, considering both producer and consumer surpluses. The author's analysis reveals substantial welfare gains for society, particularly from technologies that increase protein content, enhance disease resistance, and respond to plant growth regulators. The book also highlights potential distributional effects, with implications for regional farm income and land use. The comprehensive evaluation presented in this book contributes to the ongoing discussion on the economic and social consequences of agricultural biotechnology, providing valuable information for researchers, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of agriculture and food security.
