The Ambiguous Ecologies of Agri‐Alternatives: Exploring the Calculus of Social Reproduction in Rural India

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances scholarship on agri‐alternatives by probing the gap between romanticised narratives of how alternative farming transitions ought to be and the actual practices farmers enact in their fields. Focusing on moments when such alternatives encounter on‐the‐ground realities, we propose ambiguous ecologies as a lens to explore the ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Innovation, Licensing, and Competition: Evidence From Genetically Engineered Crops

open access: yesThe Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We provide a novel empirical analysis of the role of technology licensing, between competitors, for genetically engineered (GE) traits in the US seed industry. We extend the standard differentiated‐product Bertrand pricing model to include trait licensing, which permits us to recover marginal costs and (otherwise unobserved) royalty rates ...

Engineering Conditional Transgene Expression in Nicotiana benthamiana

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nicotiana benthamiana has emerged as a premier plant biofactory for recombinant protein and metabolite production due to its high metabolic versatility, ease of cultivation and permissiveness to transient expression vectors. However, challenges such as transgene silencing, low yields and metabolic toxicity limit its scalability. Synthetic gene
