Intellectual Property and Agriculture

'Coming in at almost two thousand pages and one hundred articles, it would be easy to see this collection as yet another reader - a snapshot of the state of the art of a field. But this is a big wolf in sheep's clothing, labeled as a collection about intellectual property and agriculture but using the literature on the topic to brilliantly question, and expand, what we mean by both "IP" and "agriculture", and their relationship. The whole is much more than the sum of the parts - and there are many different parts contributed by scholars in law, anthropology, economics, environmental studies, history of science, and plant science. The relationship between intellectual property and agriculture will never look the same, or more interesting than this.'
