| Abstract: | A cryptic historic background is given of the International Undertaking for Plant Genetic
Resources and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Issues evolving from these
international deliberations, eg the divide between developed and developing countries are
highlighted. An overview is given of the present FAO effort to reconcile the two within
the context of Farmers’ Rights, Scope and Access to plant genetic resources for food and
agriculture. Attention is paid to real and potential clashes between Farmers’ Rights and
farmers’ privileges with Plant Breeders Rights and Trade Related Intellectual Property
Rights under UPOV and the WTO. An overview is given of Agenda-21’s multidimensional,
conservationistic, developmental and research goals, linked with The
International Undertaking and the CBD. This was done to indicate that agricultural
economics is well equipped and has the responsibility to research the effects of these
Conventions on rural communities and the economy in South Africa in general. |
