Abstract

Many countries have made significant investment in developing broad agricultural biotechnology capacity focused on developing plant and animal breeding, advanced genomics, tissue culture, and genetic transformations (Falck-Zepeda et al. 2009). Developing countries have been particularly interested in supporting their resource poor smallholder farmers while addressing multiple productivity challenges and cultural diversity and operating in agricultural and natural ecosystems which may be mega biodiverse. These challenges are made more difficult to overcome because developing countries also face significant institutional and policy challenges.
