  Focusing on a contract involving Mexico's National Autonomous University, this book examines the practices through which researchers, plant vendors, indigenous cooperatives, and other actors put prospecting to work. It considers the consequences of linking scientific research and rural 'enfranchisement' to the logics of intellectual property.
