Description: This publication compiles five studies and provides an overview of the conceptual bases for assigning monetary and non-monetary values to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. It also constitutes the first steps towards a projection of benefit flows over time. The studies brought together in this book aim to provide quantified information to the International Treaty stakeholders and the wider interest audience to help understand the economic dimensions of the Treaty as a whole and the Multilateral System and its benefits in particular.
