This
book develops the term ‘Sustainable Innovations’ and defines it on the
basis of plant variety innovations that, by their very nature, (i)
permit the in situ conservation of agrobiodiversity and genetic
variability in diverse geographic and climatic conditions, (ii) do not
exclude any potential innovators from the process of innovation, and
thereby (iii) ensure that both formal and informal innovations can
continue to take place in the generations to come (in both the developed
and developing world). The book studies the Indian Plant Variety
Protection Act, the UPOV Acts and associated agricultural policies from a
legal, philosophical, historical and economic perspective with the aim
of determining the means of promoting sustainable innovations in plant
varieties and identifying laws, policies and practices that are
currently acting as impediments to promoting the same.
