Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue collects a series of papers that address the role that agricultural innovation can play in fostering sustainability. They also explore the role that intellectual property protection can play in fostering green innovation. Increasingly, indigenous and local knowledge are being identified as sources of information to facilitate the adaptation of agriculture to climate change and to facilitate the adoption of environmentally sustainable practices.
