It analyzes the socio-economic parameters, complexities, diversities, and need for a strong seed system with appropriate regulatory frameworks in the Indian agrarian economy.

While outlining the growth of a multi-crop and multi-dimensional seed industry, this book examines the role of breeders and seed industry, and rights of farmers, changing regulatory framework governing the seed sector, and impact of inter-governmental conventions, agreements and treaties in regulating the seed sector. Role played by the public and private partners in the establishment of seed sector with science-led technologies and capacity building, and expansion of the domestic seed industry is emphasized. The impact of seed system development with limitations and future prospects is also discussed with a view of a global seed scenario.
