Special Issue on Agri-Biotech Studies from Policy and Regulatory Perspectives : Introduction

Abstract

The primary objective of this special issue is to look into the global agri-biotech policies and regulations and discuss potential implications. In this preamble, we briefly discuss why there is an urgent need to look into the agri-biotech policies. We then briefly discuss the findings of this research collection, which involves a number of well-known social scientists, economists, and policy analysts. Finally, we examine the role of civil society in the agri-biotech policy debate.
