Abstract
This article examines the role which Geographical Indications (GIs) can play in promoting agricultural sustainability and economic development in developing countries and Least Developed Countries (LDCs). After defining geographical indications in relation to agricultural products and foodstuffs, the article reviews the literature concerning: GIs and market differentiation; GIs and premium pricing; their role in the certification of product quality and in the aggregation of market power. The role of GIs in promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity conservation and their value in promoting rural development in developing countries and LDCs.
