The Farmers' Rights Concept

The Farmers' Rights concept recognizes the essential contributions of farmers to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, particularly in agriculture. It acknowledges their role in developing, preserving, and sharing traditional seeds and knowledge. Farmers' Rights include the right to access and use genetic resources, protect traditional knowledge, and receive benefits from the use of these resources. This concept aims to empower farmers, ensure food security, and promote sustainable agricultural practices, ultimately helping to balance the interests of farmers, communities, and global agricultural biodiversity.
