Adoption
of Genetically Engineered Crops in the U.S.—This
data product summarizes the extent of adoption of herbicide-tolerant
and insect-resistant genetically engineered crops in
the United States. Data cover GE varieties of corn, cotton,
and soybeans, by State.
Agricultural Biotechnology
Intellectual Property—This database identifies
and describes U.S. utility patents on inventions in biotechnology
and other biological processes—with issue dates
between 1976 and 2000—that are used in food and
agriculture. The database also provides information about
the ownership of these patents, whether patents are held
in the public or private sector, and changes in patent
ownership due to firm mergers, acquisitions, and spinoffs.
Agricultural Productivity
in the United States—This data set provides
estimates of productivity growth in the United States
beginning in 1948, and estimates of productivity growth
and relative productivity levels across States.
Agricultural
Research Funding in the Public and Private Sectors—Data
for public and private funding of agricultural research
and development cover the years 1970-2008 (public) and
1970-98 (private). Data are available as nominal figures
and adjusted for inflation.
Plant Breeding Research
and Development—A summary of the growing and
changing nature of plant breeding activity in the United
States. Based on a 1994 national plant breeding study
conducted by Dr. Ken Frey of Iowa State University, the
data provide the level of plant breeding effort (in terms
of staff years and estimated expenditures) in the U.S.
by academia and the public and private sector. The study
is a comprehensive accounting of national plant breeding
efforts, and provides the only national benchmark to
compare current and/or future efforts and developments
in this critically important area of research.
