Public and private efforts in research and technology development have been the foundation of impressive
productivity gains in the agricultural sector. Over the past few decades, there have been many changes affecting
the research system. Advances in the biological sciences, such as recombinant DNA technology, have expanded the
opportunities to develop new technology for both the public and private sectors. Legislation that strengthened intellectual property protection for biological inventions and allowed the patenting and licensing of public-sector innovations has further changed the research landscape. These new institutional arrangements have fostered public
and private collaboration in research. (Note: The use of commercial or trade names does not imply approval by USDA or ERS.)
