Bio-Innovation and Poverty Alleviation: Case Studies from Asia

This volume explores how bioinnovation might be linked to the problem of poverty and its reduction through an inquiry into a number of empirical cases of presentday bio-innovation in some of the Asian countries viz., Cambodia, China, India, Nepal, Philippines, South Korea and Thailand. This list of countries, of course, does not exhaust the complete list of countries in the region that have employed bio-innovation projects for an explicit or tacit purpose of contributing to poverty alleviation.
