Institute) |
Summary
This report presents the
results of the e-mail based survey on Farmers' Rights carried out in 2010 as
part of the Global Consultations on Farmers' Rights. The consultations were
organized in response to Resolution 6/2009 of the Governing Body of the
International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which
called for regional workshops on Farmers' Rights. A total of 131 respondents
from 36 countries participated. These were sorted into the groups 'farmers',
'the public sector', 'seed industry', 'NGOs' and 'others', as well as regional
groups. Through the questionnaire the respondents shared their views and
experiences on the realization of Farmers. Rights, including achievements,
obstacles and options. The prime concern among most participants was the need
for guidance, support and capacity building to develop or adjust national
legislation, policies, strategies and programs for the realization of Farmers'
Rights.
