      abstract = {This new book merges the concepts of traditional  agriculture, crop sustainability, and intellectualproperty  rights associated with plant protection and agricultural  products. It discusses various strategies associated with  crop tolerance to adverse environmental conditions and also  highlights the role of agricultural intellectual property  rights, along with the implications for plant patents,  protection of farmers' rights, and geographical indication  in plant products, to provide a broader outlook toward  strategies for sustainable agriculture and global food  security associated with IPR. The chapters provide an  overview of sustainable crop cultivation in traditional  agriculture as well as with new biotechnological  approaches. The volume explores several stress resilience  strategies and issues for crops, considering how to  mitigate the effect of increased carbon dioxide  concentration, heavy metal pollution, over-salinized soils,  and cold spells. It also discusses how to make desert  farming more efficient; how to increase abiotic stress  tolerance of crops with grafting, seed soaking/priming,  soil amendment, and more. The chapters on agricultural  intellectual property rights address IPR in conjunction  with food security, the rights of farmers, legal  applications and protection of plant patents, protection of  traditional knowledge, international legal issues, and  plant variety protection rights in agriculture and more.},
