Assists farmers in the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources. The module consists of three lessons: an introduction; farmers' rights in the context of the International Treaty; and development and practical activities for implementing farmers' rights.
The role of farmers as custodians and innovators of plant genetic diversity that feeds the world population was not formally recognized at the international level until the adoption of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. The International Treaty is the first legally binding instrument that recognizes the enormous contribution of local and indigenous communities and farmers worldwide to the development and conservation of crop diversity. This module examines its origins and provisions in the International Treaty and presents some practical activities for the realisation of Farmers' Rights. It aims to (i) understand the crucial role of farmers in the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture; (ii) describe the evolution of Farmers' Rights up to their recognition by the International Treaty; (iii) explain the components of Article 9 of the International Treaty; (iv) illustrate the implementation of Article 9 at the national level with practical examples and best practices; and (v) strengthen stakeholders' capacities for implementing Farmers' Rights as reflected in Article 9 of the International Treaty. The realisation of Farmers' Rights falls under the responsibility of national governments, and the adoption of measures for the promotion of Farmers' Rights, therefore, remains at the discretion of national authorities. Although there is no binding agreement for the implementation of Farmers' Rights, it is clear that farmers need to be supported to continue their role as stewards of plant genetic diversity in agriculture
