Book Description
"The Governing Body of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture adopted the Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA) in June 2006. However, the potential income for the Benefit-Sharing Fund under the SMTA remains unclear. This book presents the findings of five interlinked technical studies carried out with the financial support of the Government of Australia. They address the overall economic impact of the International Treaty and, in particular, the benefits likely to flow from the use of the SMTA."--Page 4 of cover.
