This is an approach to sustainable and cost-effective management of soil fertility. ISFM attempts to make the best use of inherent soil nutrient stocks, locally available soil amendments and mineral fertilizers to increase land productivity while maintaining or enhancing soil fertility. ISFM is a shift from traditional fertilizer response trials designed to come up with recommendations for simple production increases. The goal of ISFM is to develop comprehensive solutions that consider such diverse factors as weather, the presence of weeds, pests and diseases, inherent soil characteristics, history of land use and spatial differences in soil fertility. It involves a range of soil fertility enhancing methods, such as improved crop management practices, integration of livestock, measures to control erosion and leaching, and measures to improve soil organic matter maintenance. ISFM strategies include the combined use of soil amendments, organic materials, and mineral fertilizers to replenish soil nutrient pools and improve the efficiency of external inputs.
The course of Intellectual Property I constitutes Introduction to Intellectual Property law (in general). It then delves into Copyright & Neighbouring Rights law; Trademarks, passing off and emerging related issues such as Image rights and confidential information. The course also examines how intellectual property law balances interests (e.g. creativity, innovation, technological development, access, use), and current issues and emerging debates in intellectual property such as ISP liability, online defamation, Cybersquatting, Shape & Olfactory marks.
a) Introduction to aspects of Intellectual Property Law: This part of the course offers an introduction into domestic aspects of the law and policy relating to Intellectual Property.
