barriers to Farmers' Rights Farmers' Rights, as they pertain to plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, are an issue of central importance in countries where most of the population lives in rural areas, their livelihoods based on farming - and particularly so when farming systems centre on traditional varieties. This is the case in most developing countries. In Northern countries, Farmers' Rights concern a much smaller segment of the population. Although most farmers in the North rely on commercial plant varieties, saving and re-use of propagating material is still practised to some extent, and among eco-farmers there is increasing interest in developing plant breeding based on traditional varieties. Thus, Farmers' Rights related to crop genetic diversity are also important in the North. Read more about:  Stakeholder perceptions on barriers to
