The essays collected here address some of the key issues for estimating the economic value of conserving genetic resources in agriculture. The chapters are grouped into five main categories: modeling the role of genetic resources in plant breeding; empirical studies of plant breeding and field diversity; empirical studies of breeding values; property rights; and the implications of development in biotechnology.
