Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the
world and consequently has sought to employ genetic resources to further both
its economic development and technological and scientific advancement.
Colombia's implementation of the international regime on access to genetic
resources and benefit sharing responds to the interests of the country in
employing genetic resources for health research and also for the health
industry. However, the relevant Colombian law leaves aside practices and
knowledge that emanate from local, indigenous, and Afro-Colombian communities
in adding value to biodiversity. Through an interdisciplinary analysis, this
book adds a novel country case study to existing international socio-legal
literature on the International Regime on Access to Genetic Resources and
Benefit Sharing, showing its deficiencies when considered at national and local
levels. Further, drawing on a Capability Approach, the book aims to suggest an
alternative approach for Colombia, making the normative claim that such an
approach would create a more inclusive model of innovation in the use of
biodiversity.
