"Book:1. Halewood, M. (Ed.). (2016). Farmers’ crop varieties and farmers’ rights: challenges in taxonomy and law. Routledge.
The book takes its readers through two major challenges associated with farmers’ crop varieties i.e. (i) farmer management practices and other external factors affecting the evolution of the crop varieties and (ii) how various policies accommodate the distinction between the agro-cultural realities and farmers’ varieties. Based on these, he draws the conclusion that farmers rights in regards to food and agriculture can be promoted through policy initiatives from local to global levels.
Three case studies from Nepal, Vietnam and Syria have been provided for the readers to understand how the policy intervention supports or hinders the efforts for famers’ variety enhancement. Further case studies are presented from all over the world to provide an international scenario of the farmers’ variety registration, intellectual property rights and government interventions at local and district level.
