The Future Control of Food
A new book, ‘The Future Control of Food: A Guide to International Negotiations and Rules on Intellectual Property, Biodiversity and Food Security’ is set to be launched and published over the next couple of weeks. The book was co-edited by Geoff Tansey and Tasmin Rajotte and is available from Earthscan and the International Development Research Centre.
I’m very proud to say that I contributed to the chapter on the Convention on Biological Diversity.
The Quaker International Affairs Programme (QIAP) is organizing a side event this Monday (January 21st) at the 6th meeting of the CBD’s ABS Working Group. The description of the side event states the rationale behind the book:
The decision to produce this book was a response to concerns negotiators in various multilateral negotiations raised about the need for such a guide as well as an observation that negotiators or groups working in one area were often unaware, and sometime undermining, what was happening elsewhere.
Bravo to QIAP for all the work in putting the book together and happy reading to everyone!
