FARMERS' RIGHTS IN ITPGRFA:

Statements made during the Governing Body discussion

During the discussion on Farmers' Rights (Agenda Item 14 of the Third Session of the Governing Body), many statements were made by Contracting Parties as well as non-governmental organizations, including farmers' organizations. We are collecting these statements here, as far as possible. So far the list is not exhausting, and we hope to gather many more statements. All help in this regard is most welcome.
