| HOW TO REALIZE FARMERS' RIGHTS AT THE
NATIONAL LEVEL: Participants for national consultative processes A broad based consultative process should ensure participation from all central stakeholder groups, from all regions of the country, from different ethnic groups (if relevant), from men and women. This is a list of stakeholders which could be considered:  Farmers (read more about how to ensure farmers'
participation here) Parliament, particularly parliamentary committees vested with
agriculture Ministries of agriculture and relevant related
agencies Other relevant ministries and government bodies, as
appropriate Focal points for the International Treaty on Plant
Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture Institutions involved in intellectual property rights (plant
breeders' rights and patents) Institutions involved in seed
certification Institutions involved in extension
services to farmers Gene banks Relevant research institutions Relevant capacity building institutions, training centres,
etc. Civil society organization (including
also consumer groups) Seed industry and its
associationsWhereas it is important to ensure that as many central decision makers as possible participate in the implementation process, it is crucial to have substantial representation of farmers' organizations, in addition to civil society organizations involved in topics related to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture and Farmers' Rights in the country. Seed industry representation is recommended, as several potential measures for the realization of Farmers' Rights will affect the seed industry, and because new alliances for the realization of Farmers' Rights could open up for new potentials (see also 'Joining Forces').
