Book excerpt: Controversies on the use and conservation of plant genetic information have become major obstacles in international negotiations on trade, agriculture and biodiversity conservation.

Evidence for this argument is derived from historical and contemporary data on Europe and the USA, as well as fieldwork in Latin America.
