Chapter 15 (Page no: 179)

Public acceptance of and benefits from agricultural biotechnology: a key role for verifiable information.

This chapter addresses the economics of information as it affects the acceptance of and benefits from agricultural biotechnology. It shows that verifiable information plays a central role in socially good decision making by producers and consumers of genetically modified products, and that an independent agency should store and make freely available verified information.
