RIGHTS: Approaches to ensuring farmers' participation in decision-making Participation in relevant decision-making would be important for different reasons under the two approaches. Under the stewardship approach, the most important objectives would be to ensure legal space for farmers to continue as custodians and innovators of plant genetic resources, and to establish reward mechanisms for farmers' contributions to the global genetic pool. Under the ownership approach, the goals would be to ensure appropriate legislation on access and benefit sharing, and to safeguard farmers' intellectual property rights to genetic resources in their fields and related knowledge. Obviously, these two sets of objectives could be conflicting. Pages in this sub-section:  THE
